Hello Josh,
I'm sorry that I have to inform you that I don't, and haven't, used
blackboard so far. I don't know anything about its accessibility features or
how inaccessible it is. You may want to search for "Blackboard" on this
list's archive, for previous posts concerning blackboard, located at
http://www.nfbNet.org/mailman/listinfo/nabs-l_nfbNet.org.  If that link
doesn't work try http://www.nfbNet.org/, and click on this lists archive.

I explained that to her.
Humberto, what do you know about Blackboard, and why it won't work for me.
Thanks, Joshua
