Savvas should include features like text-to-speech, an embedded scientific calculator, and customizable testing accommodations to enhance accessibility and support diverse learner needs in quizzes and tests

As an educator committed to providing an inclusive and supportive learning environment, I wanted to share some suggestions that could greatly enhance the usability of the Savvas platform, particularly for students requiring accommodations.

1. Text-to-Speech Feature: Integrating a text-to-speech option for quizzes and tests would make assessments more accessible for students with reading difficulties or visual impairments. This feature would ensure that all students can access the content independently.

2. Embedded Scientific Calculator: Including an embedded scientific calculator within the platform, particularly for assessments in math and science, would streamline the process for students and reduce the need for external tools. This would also ensure standardization during testing.

3. Customizable Testing Accommodations: Providing options for different testing accommodations, such as extended time, font adjustments, or simplified navigation, would help meet the diverse needs of all learners. This flexibility could be implemented as settings that teachers can enable for specific students.

These enhancements would not only support compliance with accessibility standards but also create a more equitable platform for all students.

Thank you for considering these ideas.
