-: Hi, I'm Vikki Vaughan,
and in this series, we've explored how to locate
and open our browser,
and we've explored using a search engine
to search for information.
This workshop is intended for users with low vision.
If you use a screen reading program,
be sure to check out our screen reading version
of this workshop.
When we visit a website,
we often find various controls
or elements with which we can interact.
They allow us to enter information,
make choices to gain access, or to perform an action.
Today, we'll have a closer look at those controls.
Let's have a look at this banking website
for an example of several types of common controls.
We'll start off with edit fields.
This control, also referred to as an edit box,
allows us to type in required information
such as our first name, our last name,
password, user ID, and the like.
Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us,
we'd like to learn more about you,
your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley,
and your relationship to vision loss.
Learning more will give us a better understanding
of how to personalize Hadley just for you,
and don't worry, everything you share with us online
will be kept safe and secure.
Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions,
we're just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.
Taking these few steps saves your preferences,
so you can continue right where you left off
and track your progress every time you log on.
Plus, it connects you to the Hadley community
and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge.
And last but not least,
it gives you direct access to experts like me.
Now, where were we?
