Hi,
I've used black board on a few things, and it's been pretty accessible. For some things such as photos, you need to tell your teacher that it isn't accessible, but usually tests, with radio buttons and check boxes should read ok.

The problem of blindness is not the lack of eyesight. The real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of information that exists. If a blind person has proper training and opportunity, blindness is only a physical nuisance.

Subject: [nabs-l] How To Use Blackboard With JAWS, and Where can I get my Biology Book in Braile

Hi guys, this is Helga. How are you? I just wanted to tell you that I’m going to be taking a “Introduction of American Government,” and “Concepts of Biology” class next semester, and they involve using Blackboard, and I really don’t know how to use Blackboard with JAWS. Does anyone here knows how to use Blackboard with JAWS? Just wondering. And just to let you know, some assignments in Blackboard are not accessible with JAWS. I actually tried it before, and it didn’t work! Also, I just wanted to ask you, do you know any college, or University, or any place, where I can get or borrow my Biology book in Braille in order to use it for this Spring Semester? Just to let you know, the name of my Biology book is 
What is life?  A  guide to  Edition  1st    Author : J. Phelan Publisher W.H. Freeman and Co
ISBN 13:798-1-4292-2318-8..2318-9 I will really appreciate it if you could give me some suggestions regarding Blackboard and my Biology book! Thank you so much and God bless!!
