[NABS-L] Canvas accessibility

[Sidney Horn]

Hi there,
I generally use Canvas as well. I'm at a community college, but I'm also a
JAWS user. Although I know both screen readers have identical key commands
pretty much.
Anyhow, Canvas has been extremely accessible for me so far. Now it'll be
interesting to see how Blackboard works for me, because I actually have to
switch over to that in the fall. I'll be going to Southern Illinois
University Edwardsville, and they use Blackboard there. So far from what
I've heard from a current student who attends is that it is accessible;
however, she's a mac user. So it'll just be interesting.
