[nfbcs] WebEx training and screen readers

[Duarte, Giovanni]

Tracy,
If the training is done in WebEx by using desktop sharing, you won't be able to read anything with JAWS. Even if the presenter has PowerPoint slides, JAWS won't read them inside WebEx. I used to manage WebEx for a university and I can tell you that students with screen readers had issues. Basically, the only helpful information is the audio component.

We're getting a new version of Remedy at work, for which we get some training.  I've signed up for the WebX class.  Apparently, we all log on to somewhere, and then the teacher does all the data entry and we all see the same thing.  If it works, it sounds much better than sitting with no terminal while everyone else clicks away in the training room.
Has anyone done this?  Can I be reasonably confident it will work?  Or will it turn out to be one of those deals where all that's sent is an image Jaws can't interpret?  Though I guess, if that's the case, I won't be any worse off than I would be sitting in the training room.
Anyone have any experience with this sort of class?
Tracy
