[nabs-l] Question for blind students

[Misty Dawn Bradley]

Hi,
I think the biggest challenge is getting things, such as books, assignments, 
and exams in accessible format. This includes online materials, because some 
instructors use software or websites that are not accessible with screen 
readers. An example of this is the Pearson Education site. I took an 
economics course one time in college where the instructor used this site, 
and I ended up dropping out of the class, because all assignments and 
quizzes were on this site and used Flash Player, so it was completely 
inaccessible. Also, the instructor did not try to make it more accessible 
and kept telling me to do all of the assignments and quizzes at the 
disability services office, although I specifically was taking online 
classes due to my schedule and family obligations.
Thanks,

Misty
