Hello, everybody
I have been very quiet lately but I have been reading the posts.
I am wondering if within the wealth of information and knowledge of the list, I could get some help and/or ideas.
We are a small college and finally, after some hard/soft pushing, the Distributed Learning -aka Distance Education- department is asking for my input re/ accessibility and Universal Design for Learning.
The present challenge: explore the accessibility angle of LMS/CMS and provide recommendations and/or troubleshoot. We are trying very hard to consider a) accessibility and Universal Design for Learning and b) compatibility with adaptive technology.
The systems being considered are Blackboard , Campus Cruiser, Desire2Learn, Moodle, and Sunguard (Banner)
I understand some of the courses offered through your institution are via web/internet but I am unsure which system you are using and whether you had the opportunity to try-out / check-out other systems.
What I need to know is
1. What difficulties had you encounter re/compatibility with adaptive technology -screen readers, dictation software, etc- and your present system(s)?
2. What (if any) were the solutions?
3. Did you try out other systems? If so,
4. Which ones?
5. What were the challenges?
I will appreciate your input, ideas and assistance

Thanks and have a nice day
