[Nfbmo] Question about Blackboard

[Cari Ford]

Hi Roger, 
I just graduated from University of Missouri St. Louis last December. I was
in school there for 5 years. Black Board has gotten better over the years.
The Blackboard people are always updating it with accessibility in mind.
Jaws works really well. Black Board might seem overwhelming at first but
once you get the hang of the format, it's a breeze. In fact, I prefer
turning in assignments and receiving materials through blackboard. 
If you would like to talk further, please contact me off list at
celticcari36 at gmail.com. 
Good luck returning to school. 
Peace, 
Cari Ford

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.

learning.  It can be used in many different ways, so there is no "yes" or
"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.
