When I access it with Mozilla, I am able to save it to my down loads folder, then move it to the folder on my computer where I want it to go.

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.
