[Gary Wunder]

Make sure they have the most up-to-date version since older versions can be
quite inaccessible.

Ok, thank you Dave.   I am considering going back to school, and I was
concerned about how well accessibility has been addressed.  It has been 13
years since I was in college, and I wasn't sure since it's been a while.

"no" answer to this question.  It depends in part on how your university
sets it up and configures it, how a professor uses it, how she prepares
materials etc.  However, having said all of that, the Blackboard folks are
aware of accessibility issues and have worked at making everything as
accessible as they can.
