Nicer version of the articles?

Michael Martirone
Michael Martirone 3 months ago

Anyone know how to find a nicer version of the articles?  Since the new updates, the articles look like internet trash.  The old articles/nice pdfs looked like nice scholarly articles.

    Michael Martirone We've converted many of our articles from pdfs to HTML for greater accessibility so students using screen readers and other supports can access the readings. That may be one change you noticed. 

    There are a few ways for students to access the articles. First would be directly on site by sharing the link and students can select the Lexile level using the menu on the top left like you see here: https://www.oerproject.com/OER-Materials/OER-Media/HTML-Articles/Origins/Unit3/Regional-Trade-Networks?Id=718480&share=link

    Another option would be for you to download as a Word or Google doc, which some teachers like to do to add in accommodations like highlighting or embedding "during reading" questions. Downloading to Word / Google does change the formatting slightly to fit on a printable page.

    Is there a specific article with layout errors you've noticed? We'd like to take a look.

    From an inclusion/ESL perspective, the pdf's were often taking me 1-2 hours just to format into a document I could create accommodations for. The doc formatting is saving me dozens of hours per semester.
