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

Sun Jan 12 01:54:00 UTC 2014

Hi Robin, this is Helga. How are you? I just wanted to tell you that I 
actually find a way to solve my problem in how to access my videos on 
Blackboard. I think that this probably help you, or anyone else who needs it 
as well! Just to let you know my brother who is sighted helps me save the 
video on the computer, and then he downloads it in Windows media player, and 
then he created a folder for me called Video Lectures Folder, and after he 
did that he placed the video there. Once you have your video in your folder, 
you can press enter on it, and then Windows Media Player opens 
automatically. So in order to play a video on Windows Media Player, you 
press control P, to pause a video, you press control P as well, in order to 
rewine the Video, you press control shift B, and in order to fast forward 
the video, you press control shift F. Of course yu will need help with this, 
yu will need someone who is sighted to help you save the video to yur 
computer, and accomplish the other steps that I mention before, but once yu 
are in Windows Media Player, you can do the steps I told you. You could 
probably ask for a family member, a friend, or a class mate at school in 
order for them to help yu with this. Hoep this helps for now. Hope to hear 
from you soon. Thanks and God bless!! :)
P.S. I will try to find out from my brother if I can do all this steps for 
myself, and then I'll share it with all of you ok? Thanks again!

I am sorry that I forgot to mention how I was
able to access the video content posted to
blackboard. I enlisted the aid of Ol'Sighty (a
sighted person) to locate the pause/play buttons
as well as the transcripts of the video content in question.

I may be in the same boat this upcoming
semester/term, and I may also enlist the aid of a
sighted person (Ol'Sighty) if I am unable to
uncover how to access this content from a
blindness perspective, but I will press the
university about the difficulty I am experiencing.

Good Luck with your blackboard course! If you
find a suitable way to access the blackboard
content (video), please pass it along on this
list because I am sure there are others, who will
probably benefit as much as I will.
