[nabs-l] A H instructor

[Justin Williams]

As long as you put forth the effort, then someone should meet you where you
faulter.  It doen't matter who, just as long as you have equal access.
Trying to learn a totally new system on the fly is difficult while trying to
get college work done.  Unless my professor agreed to show me the blackboard
system, I'd have set up an appointment with the office of student
disabilities because their job is accommodations and accessibility.

Hi,
 
I'd like opinions when would you mention the l word to a college.
That would be lawsuit.
 
Say you are brand new to using blackboard and mindtap that are mildly
accessible and you ask an instructor where to find the assignments and
quizzes in mindtap and the AH says figure it out for yourself!
 
The blackboard program turns out to be easy to navigate with jaws after you
get used to it but time is not a luxury with an eight week class. 
When an instructor loads their blackboard on Saturday and class starts on
Monday and a major task is due on Wednesday and someone using jaws to
navigate the screens was only an after-thought, one can get behind from day
one.
 
Many hours wouldn't have been wasted if someone could have provided a crash
course for blackboard and days were wasted fumbling around in mindtap.
One course works well within mindtap and I found a list of assignments and
quizzes which we are required to complete but another course can't even be
started due to the mindtap screens and an instructor saying try another
browser and it works fine on my end, it must be your computer.
 
Thanks,
Bryan
