[Athen] Alternatives to BlackBoard Secure Exam Browser with JAWS and ZoomText?

[Ken Petri]

Hi Mike,

When we can't avoid it, our AT lab uses Respondus Lock-Down Browser.

Missouri State has some good information on using this browser accessibly:

There are certainly limitations imposed on AT when using the browser. But
this seems to be a case of "choose your poison."
