[Athen] [EXTERNAL] JAWS access in Blackboard

[foreigntype at gmail.com]

Rachel,

I'm the instructor. Grading the assignment within Blackboard on the
student's uploaded docx file. Making corrections (inline) and leaving
sidebar annotations. The student is using JAWS and reports JAWS cannot read
my feedback. They have no problem if all the feedback is left in the
INSTRUCTOR NOTES box in the grade box itself, only when the annotated
instructor notes are left attached to the docx submission.

Before I go back into the file and do a massive 18 pages of cut and paste
of all my annotations & put into a separate document for them to read
(which would then be disconnected from any context I am referring to in the
text), is there any keystroke combo she can use in JAWS to get it to read
these comments in BB?

Thanks for jumping in!
