Thanks, Brianna.  My friend was working MyMathLab today, and we 
found VEND DIAGRAMS that he couldn't draw, so we're worried that 
the points system is discriminatory and he may need a tutor or 
help from the instructor.

Mymathlab is acessable with Jaws 12 only at this point.  It's
accessable for the most part; Jaws doesn't read the graphs of 
corse,
and it also may read certain problems a little funny because of 
the
way they're written in print, however, after a few attempts at 
the
problem, I think I got the jist of what the problem was and was 
able
to solve it.  There are many buttons on the site that you have to 
use,
but don't worry, they're all accessable.
Hope this helps.

 Thanks, Anjelina.  I"ll let my friend know about this.  I just
 wonder how he can get a tutor or reader outside of class.
 Statistics is hard from what I heard.

 Hi Beth,

 I'm taking Statistics. I'll be working with a tutor outside of
 class, and if
 I have any difficulties with MyMathLab, the tutor has agreed to
 read
 homework assignments.
 The instructor is willing to help in anyway  to insure I have
 equal access
 to course content.

 What course are you currently taking, Anjelina?  This guy is
 taking Math for Liberal Arts.  What math courses are you using
 and does the teacher provide an equally accessible experience 
for
 you?

 I'm currently using My Math lab and it so far seems accessible.
 I'm using
 JAWS 13 with Windows 7

 Thanks, Ashley.  Does anyone else who is currently in a math
 course know if MyMathLab is accessible?  That's interesting,
 Ashley.  My friend is using JAWS 13 I believe, but I'm not sure.
 He's also using Windows 7.  You guys have my permission to
 forwadrd my initial email to the Electronics or Math lists.
 Whichever lists might help.
 Beth

 Here we go again. Four years ago when I took math it was not. 
but
 I heard it
 improved.
 If it uses flash as it used to, no it is not accessible. If its
 more text
 based, then yes.

 Hi, all.
 Does anyone in a college math course know that MyMathLab is
 accessible?  Or is it?  I have a friend taking a math course and
 he's blind and needs MyMathLab, but is it accessible with JAWs?
 Answers, please?
 Beth
