[NFBP-Talk] Question re accessibility of online courses

[ken Quinn]

 Hi, 
When I last used blackboard with Jaws it worked well for me. I had some accessibility issues but it was because not of blackboard but because of an error that was in the college system. My tech department saw what it was and fixed it then there was no longer an issue.
