Question came up regarding Accessibility. Answer:

Keyboard interaction

When focus is on a header, the following key commands are available:

UP/LEFT - Move focus to the previous header. If on first header, moves focus to last header.
DOWN/RIGHT - Move focus to the next header. If on last header, moves focus to first header.
HOME - Move focus to the first header.
END - Move focus to the last header.
SPACE/ENTER - Activate panel associated with focused header.

The printing feature stays the same as in the current version of Syllabus (one long page) and there is a property that can be set to determine which item in the "accordion" is open by default. Bryan set it so it automatically scrolls to the opened item (both in portal or tool view).

Please take a look at the screencast and the Jira and let us know what you think. Is this an improvement? Does it meet a need?
