[nabs-l] Blackboard

[rachel Jacobs]

Hi Kevin. My name is Rachel Jacobs, and I am a graduate student at the 
University of South Florida. I use black board all the time, and it is very 
easy to use with a screen reader. I use JAWS, and I've not had any problems. 
Teachers post assignments, sometimes powerpoints, there is a discussion 
board, student's e-mails in the class are posted under communication, and so 
much more. Basically you have to sign up and have a student e-mail account. 
You log in with your e-mail and password. Then you go to courses. Then pick 
which ever course you want, and there will be many choices such as 
assignments, course documents, discussion board, communication, and course 
tools. Teachers post grades under course tools, and then my grades. I hope 
this helps. Don't worry though. I was a bit nervous at first, but it really 
is quite easy.
Rachel
