[Athen] Elluminate - accessibile or not?

[Patrick Burke]

Hi all,

Our campus is piloting Elluminate this quarter. It has been a mixed 
bag for me using Jaws.

They made substantial improvements in Elluminate 9 (released 
November-ish, 2008). The menus now work reliably via keyboard, & you 
can tab to all the controls. For efficient use it would still need a 
few more key commands to jump to the different areas of the screen.

It did take me a while to get the audio working just right, but I 
never had the severe problems that Hadi describes. (Perhaps different 
soundcard setups, or ... who knows?)

The Whiteboard section & Participant list still don't work for me. I 
will be submitting these & a series of minor issues in our feedback 
report to the Elluminate company.
