 Hi all,
 I'd like to back up what Jewel had to say.

 I've been using BlackBoard for several years now, and it's 
always
 been
 eccessible.  If someone is having problems they might want to
 check
 and see if their screen reader is updated.

  Dear list,
  I would like to back up what was said about Blackboard being
  accessible.  I have used it for over a year now (this is my
 third
  semester using it for all my classes), and the only problems I
 have
  had were not because of inaccessibility of Blackboard (such as
 .PDF
  files or inaccessible powerpoints).  I also just posted on the
  discussion forum for my literature class and using Insert + F7
 to find
  the links to create a new thread and submit, I had no problem! 
B
 The
  latest version of Blackboard, which my college has, is as close
 to
  accessible as you can get, and is even friendly with headings
 and
  links.  If Blackboard is not working for someone, it may be 
that
 the
  school has a previous version of Blackboard.  I believe the
 latest  is
  9.1? I happen to love Blackboard for my classes.  When a
 professor says
  "It's on Blackboard" I jump for joy, because it means I have
 access to
  the same things that other students can access.
  My two cents,

  Dear all,
  Blackboard is user friendly to the blind.  I worked for my
 college's
  blackboard staff for almost two semesters and it is good.  The
 only
  part you may have problems is with the Discussion Board.
 However, I
  don't know exactly know what version my school is running but I
 like
  how Jaws navigates around the site.
  Sincerely,
  Nathan Clark

  Have they given a reason why they won't do that? If they are
 uploading
  things to Blackboard, then they already have electronic copies
 of the
  documents.  Maybe talk to your disabilities office and tell 
them
 what's
  going on.  They might be able to talk to the professors for you
 and
  solve the problem.

  Koby,
  As far as I know, Blackboard isn't accessible with JAWS.  It 
can
  work,
  but it's difficult.  Newer versions of Blackboard are "better,"
  but
  that's not saying much.  On the other hand, Moodle, which is
  similar in
  nature to Blackboard, is more accessible.  The best workaround
  I've
  found is to just have your professors e-mail things.

   Hello all,
   Is blackboard accessible with JAWS? Is there a way to make it
   accessible with JAWS?
   Right back soon,
   Koby.
