A common low-vision assistive technology is a screen magnifier, which enlarges a portion of the text on a screen. Which of the following features of screen magnification would most impede a student's ability to find information efficiently?
  1. Cost of the device.
  2. Amount of scrolling required.
  3. Blurry magnified text.
  4. Non-magnified mouse pointer.
Explanation
Correct Response: B. The student can only read a portion of the text on the screen at one time. This makes it necessary to scroll in order to read the entire page. A is incorrect because a screen magnifier is an included accessibility feature of most devices free of cost. C is incorrect because embedded rasterizing algorithms assure that text is sharply displayed regardless of magnification. D is incorrect because screen magnification includes magnification of the entire selected portion, including the mouse pointer. Additionally, another common accessibility feature is mouse pointer magnification for the entire screen.
