[nabs-l] Accessibility of Blackboard?

[David Webster]

Hello.  My name is Dave.  I don't usually post to the list but when I see a
topic of interest I will.  I'm not a student right now.  I have been in the
past.  I went to Capella university and blackboard did fairly well.  I could
get online and respond to posts and do pretty much whatever I had to.  One
of the things that I found out about going to school online is that online
they make you do more work than even an on campus university.  An on campus
university would never make you do as much work as they do on an online
school. -----Original Message-----

Hi Bridget!
Welcome to the list!
As you probably know, (those of you who have posted here for years,) I've
had issues with Blackboard!
After I log in, it says, "Page has no links!"
I refresh the page, and I get the same result!
I don't know what version my college uses, but it's inaccessible whatever it
is!
Good grief!
BTW, Where is Dominican College located?
I've never heard of it.
Thanks, Joshua

Hi everyone,
I am a student at Dominican College and I have a love hate relationship with
blackboard when using jaws. I am finding Jaws 14 has been the best in
tackling all of the crazy web design problems. The biggest problem I face
when working with jaws is that it tends to move to the top of the page. an
additional problem I face is when I need to use the timer modification and
need to log in. Jaws will let me put in my information but when I try to
read a test and answer questions jaws moves to another place on the screen.
I could go on with all of the problems I face with blackboard but will say
that jaws 14 is an improvement with exception to form fields.
As a general is anyone having problems with jaws 14 and invert commands?
Bridget
