However, it largely depends on the course you're taking. for example, many courses require you to do assignments which ask you to take screenshots of your work, upload them, and grade those of your peers. That's going to be a problem, if you can't see those screenshots. So be aware of that. This is a big thing in a lot of computer related courses on there, I've bounced off of it a couple times. <br>Krista <br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jun 28, 2023, at 4:03 PM, charles.vanek--- via NFBCS <nfbcs@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style>@font-face { font-family: "Cambria Math"; }

Would any of you have information on whether or not courses offered by places like Udemy, Coursera, or uCertify are accessible with screen readers? What would any of you who have worked through these networking and cyber security certifications recommend a screen reader user go for the most accessible experience? I have watched many people attempt to obtain certifications through their community colleges, and constantly run into accessibility barriers. Some manage to push through, but most get frustrated, and change employment goals. All three of the sites I mentioned, offering courses and test prep, claim accessibility with screen readers. I have a couple of students who have expressed interest, so any information from those of you who have experienced any of these or others accessibly, would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Linda C.<o:p></o:p></p></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NFBCS mailing list</span><br><span>NFBCS@nfbnet.org</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbcs_nfbnet.org</span><br><span>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBCS:</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbcs_nfbnet.org/kitty1488%40gmail.com</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
