[nabs-l] University of Phoenix question

[Antonio M. Guimaraes]

Maryann,

Since I see no reply as yet to your question of accessibility at U Phoenics, 
I would only say be cautious.

I never attended that school, but attend another online only university, 
Western Governors University. I am facing issues of accessibility posed by 
the technology used by the school, including Mathlab from pearson Education.

The school is very much willing to make necessary changes to make access a 
reality for me, and all that remains to be seen when I sign up for my math 
and science courses in 6 months.

I am a social studies teaching major, and don't have to contend with too 
much math and science. I also expect I will need heavy reader use for my 
Geography work, but I can not afford, not should I have to carry a reader in 
my pocket to get through my course work independently. That is what all 
other students are doing, and it is what I expect from a school that 
receives public funds like financial aid: accessibility, accessibility, 
accessibility.

So, dig deeper to find a student or two from phoenics, or write me privately 
for more private thoughts I can share regarding online school accessibility.

trucks fire an infinite number of shotgun rounds at an infinite number of 
highway signs, they will eventually produce all the world's great literary 
works in Braille.
