[nabs-l] Professor's Recorded PowerPoints Lectures on Blackboard

Sat Jan 11 17:24:02 UTC 2014

Helga,
You could also find the link to the video in Blackboard and then press the 
applications key or right click it. This will bring up a menu, and then you 
can down arrow to "save target as..." and press enter. This will bring up a 
dialog box that allows you to save the file to your computer and download 
it. Once you have it saved on your computer, you can open that file on your 
computer with Windows Media Player or any other player that you use and can 
use that player's controls to start and stop the video, and you will also 
have it on your computer in case you need to look at it later on too. This 
is usually what I do with files on Blackboard, because when I try to open 
them in Blackboard, it does not work, so it is easier to download the file 
to my computer first and then open it with the media player that I use.
Hth,
Misty

Reading view is what you use for presentation.
Try these keystrokes the next time you are in power point.

• BACKSPACE:  In Reading View, moves to the previous slide.
• CTRL + END:  In Normal View, moves focus to the last slide in a 
presentation or in Reading View, move focus to the bottom of the slide.
• CTRL + HOME:  In Normal View, moves focus to the first slide in a 
presentation or in Reading View, moves focus to the top of the slide.
• ESC:  Ends a presentation being shown in Reading View, and returns to 
Normal View.
• F5:  Moves to Reading View and begins a presentation with the first slide.
• PAGE DOWN:  In Normal and Reading Views, moves forward from slide to 
slide.
• PAGE UP:  In Normal and Reading Views, moves backward from slide to slide.
• SHIFT + F5:  Moves to Reading View and begins a presentation with whatever 
slide was in focus in either the Normal View or Slide Sorter View when the 
Reading View was invoked. PowerPoint refers to this as the “Current Slide”.
• SPACEBAR:  In Reading View, moves to the next slide. When the end of the 
presentation is reached, will move back to Normal View with focus on the 
first slide.

5 JAWS Keys

• ARROW Keys:  Move through placeholders while in Reading View.
• CTRL + SHIFT + N:  Reads Speaker’s Notes when in Reading View.
• MODIFIER + DOWN ARROW:  Say All.
• MODIFIER + PAGE DOWN:  Announces the Status Bar.
• MODIFIER + TAB:  At the Slide Level, announces the title of the slide in 
focus.

Hi, this is Helga. I just wanted to ask you, What do you think I should do 
about the lecture videos? What did you do in order to access them? Just 
curious!! Also, I just wanted to tell you that I didn't see  any enlisted 
thing that you mention regarding in how to play or pause a Lecture video in 
this message. I will really appreciate it a lot, if you could help me with 
this. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks so much and God bless!! :) P.S. I 
forgot to ask you, do you know how to download Windows Media Player in an 
iPhone, or any apple device? Just wondering, since I actually log in to 
Blackboard using my iPhone, and I found my Professor's Recorded Powerpoint 
Lecture, but it didn't play the video, instead the iPhone show the video as 
a WMB link. Thanks again for all your time! ;)
