[nabs-l] Accessability question:

[Michael D Ausbun]

Hello there,
My university utilizes blackboard extensively. The phone-based application is accessible, but the web-based application needs a lot of work. For example, the discussion board—used in most online courses—is sometimes accessible with JAWS, but sometimes not. Plus, it crashes almost every day.
	The website is about 85%accessible with JAWS 11 and up; however, since I have not used JAWS in several years, I cannot speak to it. I would highly recommend NVDA, fore it works great, and last I heard, it is still free.
	I hope this helps!
Respectfully,
Michael Ausbun
