[wmodnl wmodnl]

At UMB, we have been using the Vista version of Blackboard.  That worked well with both JFW 10 and 14.  What version are you using?

The biggest problem I face when working with jaws is that it tends to move to the top of the page. an additional problem I face is when I need to use the timer modification and need to log in. Jaws will let me put in my information but when I try to read a test and answer questions jaws moves to another place on the screen. I could go on with all of the problems I face with blackboard but will say that jaws 14 is an improvement with exception to form fields.
