[Athen] mobile devices and accesibility

[Heidi Scher]

Hello all!
Once again, I'm turning to those with more wisdom and knowledge for some
enlightenment.  Is anyone familiar with the MobilEDU which is now part of
BlackBoard?  I saw it demonstrated today (in a large meeting environment)
and it looks very exciting, BUT also another venue which students with
disabilities may not be able to access.  When I posed the question about
accessibility testing and accessibility feature within the application
suite, the answer was that accessibility is based on what the device offers.
 (Yep, really interesting answer!)
I know that MobilEDU has recently been implimented at Stanford U and several
other universities.  Hoping someone can give me some input!
THANKS to all for your continued help!!!
Heidi
