[nabs-l] Accessibility of Edmodo

[Bill K. Dengler]

I had problems under windows with NVDA, OS X and iOS with VoiceOver, Ubuntu
Gnu/Linux with the Gnome screen reader (codename Orca) and Android with Talk
Back.
Could you perhaps write up a tutorial on how exactly you got things to work?
At the moment I have to have my teachers send me their digital assignments
outside the platform since I've had nothing but problems.

Hi Bill,
I have had no problems with edmodo and I use jaws 15. I've used it as a
student and a teacher. I know that sounds weird but,nim an education major
and got to test the pages out. I found it was much better than schology. I
think I would recommend ebackpack if edmodo does not work.
