Hi, 
In my history class In high school we use a website called googleclassroom and it is not all that accessible either so I asked my teacher to provide those files on a flash drive using Ms word. Is that a possibility you could try? Do you have a laptop or braille note taker that you use?

His response was that he was sorry that technology wasn't working, but that I should work with Disability Services more! My problem is I have already informed ODS (several times) about this acce3ssibility problem, as well as the inaccessible of outlook webmail (which wright state uses for their email provider,) and nothing has been done.
