Hi Coco,

Able Player is a free, open-source, fully accessible HTML5 media player
that supports both audio and video:
http://ableplayer.github.io/ableplayer

We haven't specifically built an Able Player integration for Blackboard or
any other LMS, but if you have developers on campus they could probably
build such an integration. The player itself is just HTML, so you just need
to be able to output the necessary HTML within Blackboard.

We're currently exploring the possibility of creating an LTI application
that would allow Able Player to be integrated into any LMS that supports
the LTI standard. We haven't actually started work on that yet though, so
I can't give you an estimated completion date.

Regards,
Terrill
