[nabs-l] blackboard and discussion board

[Chris Nusbaum]

I thought NFB had reached a court settlement with Blackboard to 
make it more accessible.  Hmm...  hello NFB-NVA Accessibility 
Certification Program? I know there's an episode of Straight Talk 
about Vision Loss on NFB's site where Mark Riccobono interviews 
one of the higher-ups (I can't remember the exact title) at 
Blackboard about its settlement and plans of accessibility.  I 
don't remember the episode number, but I know it's on the site.  
Go to www.nfb.org, click on the Publications link, then on the 
Audio/Video Center, then click on Video.  From there, there's a 
page for Straight Talk about Vision Loss.  Click on the link and 
you should find it there.  Hope this helps! Don't know what's 
going on there.

Hi all,
I thought Blackboard was supposed to be more accessible.  I wish 
they would make headings for major topics.
Also I noticed the discussion board is not accessible.  When you 
attempt to create a new thread and post a comment, jaws will not 
let you into the body of the message to post.  I am not sure how 
you read other student comments either.  Are you supposed to 
click on their name or the discussion thread’s  name?  Are you 
able to read other comments fine?

This annoying since I could not post my homework online this 
semester like everyone else.
