[Athen] Discussion board with jaws on blackbaord

[Thompson, Rachel]

Lorraine,

The information on Bb’s accessibility site (http://www.blackboard.com/Platforms/Learn/Resources/Accessibility/Accessibility-Resources.aspx) includes a screenreader tutorial and within it, there is information on using Discussion boards.

HTH,

Subject: [Athen] Discussion board with jaws on blackbaord

HI

We have a student who is a Jaws 16 user in one of our distance education programs.  The LMS that we use is Blackboard.  She is having problems with the Discussion board in Blackboard.  Her participation on it is important for this class.

Any insight or help would be great.

Thanks

Lorraine
