Description
Teachers using the gradebook (Grader report) will see item titles (like 'Assignment1') in the table headers, but these are truncated if the titles are long. If there are several similarly named activities all with long names, then this can be confusing because the truncation can cut off important parts of the title text.
There is a useful tooltip, but this only displays something like 'Link to Assignment activity' without giving the title of the activity.
Teachers using assistive technology will only have the displayed title text read, which could be something like 'Assignment1 with a long ...' if the title had been truncated.
These three observations could all be addressed by removing the title truncation, adding a css class (say .truncate) that would visually truncate and add ellipses but allow screen readers to read the whole title, and by adding the title to the end of the tooltip. This improvement would help both visual and visually impaired users, and is a quick and easy to do.
