Here's an idea. Does the instructor already have a copy of the class ready in Black Board? If so, will they let you have access to it now? If so, you can have a JAWS user go in and see how well it works. I would be happy to test that for you if your institution would allow that. They might be a bit reluctant to let the student go into the class ahead of time, but maybe an off-campus person would be okay with them.

Let me know.

Hello All,

Does anyone have any experience using JAWS with Blackboard for
online classes? I have a blind student who uses JAWS 6.1 and is
interested in taking an online class where Blackboard 6 is used. Before
putting the student in the class, I'd like to be aware of any problems
that anyone has encountered.

Thanks.
