[nabs-l] blackboard issues

[Ashley Bramlett]

well that doesn't help. I paid a lot of money to use jaws.
I thought nfb worked and was continuing to work with blackboard on this. I 
am really frustrated. Also, I do not know if it is a jaw issue. I  don't 
know how it could be. It reads the link and the name of the link, yet I 
cannot click on it. That is why I need someone to try with a mouse. Then, I 
will know it’s a jaws thing and can complain. I might also take it into 
school and have my professor guide me through how to use blackboard. With 
frames, you do not always see the links with jaws. They could tell me what 
to click on.

Well, I hope I can find a solution to this. I did not have this problem last 
two semesters. And I thought blackboard was supposed to be more accessible 
now!

Supposedly, System access works really well with blackboard while JAWS is 
problematic. I heard this info second hand.

Hi all,

Well, my classes use blackboard. My professor for pr has posted most 
handouts which would help me because I got the paper copy in class but need 
an electronic copy. But, the problem is this. I go to blackboard and click 
the class, click course documents, and then cannot click on the file link to 
open and download the file. Gee. Anyone have this issue?
I thought it was just this professor, but then I realized it happened for my 
second class too! I press  enter wich is the key for clicking usually. I 
then tried the application key, which is a right click, and still nothing. 
I am meerly taken to another screen with the same info.

Any ideas? I’ll ask a sighted person to try and  see if the same issue comes 
up with the mouse. But as far as I can tell, I cannot open these files with 
the keyboard. Note, I could last semester using the method I just described, 
by either pressing enter or right clicking on the document. FYI, I have 
windows 7 and internet explorer with jaws 13.

Any  ideas. thanks.
Ashley
