I'm in a business communications class in college. The online workbook
for this class is called Aplia. You can go to www.aplia.com, sign in
via your E-mail address, and put your date of birth as your password.
That is the only password these college sites accept. Once you've
joined Aplia, you can read the questions, and do the assignments. This
is only for those of you that are taking Business Communications
classes, that use the program, this isn't for just anyone. I'm
bringing this up, because the Jaws doesn't read all of the text to me,
and I have to have a reader, in order to do this work. When the Jaws
does read it, I can read the questions, but when I check the answers,
it won't tell me if I've answered the questions or not. My instructor
has E-mailed them about this problem, but they haven't responded to
her. If they don't respond, I think it would be wise for the NFB to
get involved. There may be more blind students using this program, and
it needs to be compatible with the Jaws program. If this company
doesn't do their duty, as written in the IDEA, there could be legal
troubles awaiting them. I just want to know, how many of you are in
Business Communications classes, or have taken them, using Aplia.
Blessings, Joshua
