[nabs-l] blackboard and using safe assign

[Loren Wakefield]

I'm not sure what Concord uses.  But it is pretty good.  I had little
success with Blackboard.  I think much about that might be me.

cannot click on the browse button to attach files with jaws. so I email my

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.
