> More and more schools, colleges and universities are using online 
> educational tools that students are required to use to obtain course 
> syllabi, access lectures and associated material, participate in class 
> discussions, read course material, and receive grades and feedback from 
> instructors. These popular tools, such as Blackboard, can frequently pose 
> significant barriers to students with vision loss because they do not work 
> well, if at all, with computer programs commonly used by students who are 
> blind or visually impaired to access content displayed on the computer 
> screen.

> AFB explored ways in which popular online educational tools can be made
