[Electronics-talk] web conferencing platforms

[Jude DaShiell]

Google uses course builder software and it's html5 video player to 
provide accessible webinars.  Since the navy won't allow google's html5 
video player to be used, I wasn't able to find out how well this would 
work with jaws and have nvda on the home windows box.

I have thought about conducting them for blind students in the school system so they can learn about assistive technology or being a low vision college student; just an idea I had to spread the knowledge I had and offer a service based on my experiences.
