[nabs-l] course compass

[Cindy Bennett]

This semester, all of the homework for my college algebra class is done online through a website generated by the company that publishes the book. It is called course compass. Today i attempted my first assignment. I first downloaded the necissary software, and i attempted to read the questions, but so far, Jaws version 9 has not read any of it. My room mate confirmed the fact that the questions are vissibly there, but it is, in fact, that jaws is just not reading them. Have any of you worked with course compass while using a screen reader?

I would really like to hear what you guys have done when online components did not work. Should i just get another assignment? Something out of the book? One of the purposes of the online homework is to provide access to help. There are links that walk students through difficult problems step by step, and if i don't have access to the site, then i would be missing out on a lot of help. There is a learning center on campus, but sessions for the course that i am in generally meet as a group. Should i request to have a private tutor since i might not have access to all of the online help?

It is disapointing to me, because so far, i have had access to everything having to do with the school and even blackboard, but this is different.
Thanks
