            Description

            The gear icon in the Boost theme does not provide sufficient definition for what it is when used by screen readers. 

            Steps to reproduce:

            • Use Boost theme
            • Log in as user with course editing capabilities
            • Open a course
            • Use screen reader to get content
            • Screen reader describes gear icon only as 'pop up button'

            For one of the primary editing menus in Boost, the gear icon should have a clearer description.
