[nabs-l] blackboard features

[V Nork]

Hello, Actually, I did use a kind of older version of Blackboard called Web
ct, But I was able to find workarounds for everything and complete my class.
The toll free Blackboard staff can be very helpful in finding ways around
obstacles.  Web Ct  is apparently used on very few campuses, but on my
campus there are no immediate pplans to update.  I had to have my professor
e mail me as attatchments PDF files I could not open online, for example.
The message Board takes some trial and error, but is really intuitive to use
after a time.  Best, Ginny

Hi all,

I heard you say blackboard is pretty accessible.  I used it a little so far
to obtain class announcements and documents.  But I will need it more
because of an online class and my communication prof uses it a lot.
Are these features accessible?  The discussion board? Taking tests?  Reading
other students' comments / work?

If you had access problems what accomodations did you have?  Did you do an
alternative assignment?
My school has blackboard 9 and I am using jaws 12.
Thanks.
Ashley
