[nabs-l] Using BlackBoard

[Ashley Bramlett]

Joshua,
Jaws 10 should work with blackboard but you may have a few more access 
issues. I used jaws 10 not too long ago with blackboard.
So  its probably not jaws. It’s the computer or blackboard.  Get some help 
to trouble shoot the issue.
I recommend you refresh the  page with f 5. Sometimes Blackboard loads 
telling me no links and refreshing works. Another idea is to just exit out 
and try logging in again.

I have Jaws 10.0, which is another problem, now that you mentioned
screenreaders.
Here's my problem.
I can get Blackboard to come up, to where I log in.
After I log in, it says, "Page has no Links."
What's the deal?
I have no clue as to which version of Blackboard they use, at my college.
I'll E-mail my tech support guy, and ask him.
Blessings, Joshua
