Known Issues

Current list of known problems with workarounds where available.

Accessibility

  • The JAWS screen reader has these issues:
    • Focus does not move to the list of options under the account name.
    • Focus does not move to the list of options under Date of Birth and Secret Question.

    WORKAROUND: Use another screen reader.

  • The Cengage SAM logo on the Login page is not read by screen readers.
  • When using the NVDA screen reader and resetting your password, the Check Your Email page is not announced.

    WORKAROUND: Use another screen reader.

SAM Assignments

  • Instructors can only remove assignments they create in a section.
  • In training tasks, the Observe, Practice, and Apply buttons are sometimes displayed incorrectly as a drop-down list on MacOS and iPad. They can still be selected.
  • The section selector at the top of the student Activity List page can be partly hidden by the Cengage sidebar. This happens in Google® Chrome™ and Microsoft® Edge when the browser window is less than 1920 pixels wide after navigating with the Cengage sidebar to another page and then back to the Activity List.

    WORKAROUND: Either collapse the Cengage sidebar or resize the browser window to show the section selector.

  • Because arrow keys are unavailable on the iPad keyboard, students cannot perform Pathway tasks involving arrow keys on iPads.
  • The counter displayed in the Upcoming Assignment widget includes the component assignments for a SAM Path instead of counting the SAM Path as a single assignment.
  • When using an iPad, Microsoft Office® tasks do not load in the content player.
  • Can't close simulation task instructions when the zoom is 200% or greater. The Close button is partly or completely hidden depending on the browser and zoom level.

    WORKAROUND: Reduce zoom to 100%.

SAM Sections

  • Instructors cannot use the Communicate feature if they select more than 33 sections.

    WORKAROUND: Select fewer than 30 sections at a time.

SAM Keyboarding

  • When an instructor selects lessons 56-110 using bulk select, lesson 56 is not included in the selection.

    WORKAROUND: Manually select lesson 56.

  • Individual Performance Reports for Word® Drill Assignments do not include the student input and markup details.

    This will be resolved with a future release so that the student input and markup details will be present in the Individual Performance Report.

  • Keyboarding lesson error count is incorrect when the student transposes punctuation and a word. The punctuation is shown as a missed error instead of a transposition.
