Adjust zoom and text without losing the task
See this course’s project requirements
A personal non-sensitive task card and scoped navigation test using text size, zoom, keyboard and an available screen reader, with a truthful fallback comparison when a reader is unavailable.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Create a task-based access choice with available/unavailable tools and no sensitive personal data.
- Retain baseline/adjusted settings and observed information/control access, with restoration recorded.
- Complete and document the keyboard task or its exact observed barrier.
- Record an actual native setup/tutorial or a clearly labeled documentation-based fallback.
- Produce a task outcome comparison that separates actual observations, expected structure, and unavailable checks.
- Deliver a non-sensitive repeatable access plan with actual results, alternate route, and exact verification limits.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- The implementation or declared simulation follows the supplied contract and retains inspectable original inputs.
- Normal, boundary and rejected cases are recorded with expected versus observed results.
- The changed case has a correct explanation and does not rely on hidden state.
- The project includes source, outputs, instructions and honest tool, privacy and verification limits.

The idea in everyday life
The original assistive-practice.html task is to find Morning 10:00, enter fictional nickname Nova with 2 seats, and confirm locally. Open the local HTML file in an available browser. assistive-task-card.txt supplies the record template; no account or private data is used.
Page zoom scales the page; font-size settings can affect text differently and may be limited by site styles. Readability changes still need reachable controls and visible information.
Adjust zoom and text without losing the task — original worked practice
Page zoom scales the page; font-size settings can affect text differently and may be limited by site styles. Readability changes still need reachable controls and visible information.

1. Step 1
Record the initial browser zoom and text setting before changing either.
You should see: A baseline setting can be restored.
Page zoom scales the page; font-size settings can affect text differently and may be limited by site styles. Readability changes still need reachable controls and visible information.
2. Step 2
In desktop Chrome use More → Zoom or Ctrl+plus/Command+plus to increase page zoom; record the percentage.
You should see: The actual page magnification changes.
Page zoom scales the page; font-size settings can affect text differently and may be limited by site styles. Readability changes still need reachable controls and visible information.
3. Step 3
Optionally use Settings → Appearance → Font size for a separate text adjustment; compare with page zoom.
You should see: Text-only preference and page zoom are distinguished.
Page zoom scales the page; font-size settings can affect text differently and may be limited by site styles. Readability changes still need reachable controls and visible information.
4. Step 4
At the chosen setting read Morning 10:00 and reach nickname, seats, and Confirm; then restore baseline if desired.
You should see: An actual readability/control-access comparison.
Page zoom scales the page; font-size settings can affect text differently and may be limited by site styles. Readability changes still need reachable controls and visible information.
What to finish
Retain baseline/adjusted settings and observed information/control access, with restoration recorded.
Watch for this
Calling magnification successful while the required action is clipped or unreachable.
How can I tell I understand it?
Demonstrate the rule: Page zoom scales the page; font-size settings can affect text differently and may be limited by site styles. Readability changes still need reachable controls and visible information. Use the supplied variant to distinguish a changed result from a broken implementation.
