Subject: [nabs-l] blackboard and using safe assign

Hi all,

my school uses the online platform blackboard.

It could be more accessible although I’m able to read much of the stuff I need like directions to assignments and downloading lecture notes. The keystroke, h, for headings sure helps navigate to the right section.

Anyway, we have to submit a paper via safe assign. This is a link which after you submit it, the paper is checked for plagerism and against other student papers. I cannot submit in blackboard for general assignments; I cannot click on the browse button to attach files with jaws. so I email my assignments in. but for safe assign, I need to do via blackboard.

The professor needs to see the info from safe assign. So, will I be able to do this? Also, will I be able to read the results? I heard from other students the safe assign thing gives you a percentage and uses visual indicators to say where your text matches something else; it underlines and other things. 

I’m wondering if I’ll need a sighted person to read the information it gives me.

Any insights would help.

Ashley
