[nabs-l] blackboard and using safe assign

[Ashley Bramlett]

Justin,
I think you meant to type grades. I agree. Its hard to tell which points go 
with wich assignment as you read the grade section.
I've had to ask my professor for clarification sometimes, if I don't have a 
reader.

not.

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
