<font size=3>There are some problems. It partly will depend on
which features the teacher will use most of the time. It is
horrible at the text chat and the white board. The discussion board
can be very awkward but is technically accessible. As for course
content, the major problem is how the faculty member designs the content
and what format is used. . powerpoint, multimedia, text files, Word files
etc.<br><br>
If I can help further, let me know. We teach courses using
Blackboard all the time.<br><br>

<x-tab> </x-tab>Does
anyone have any experience using JAWS with Blackboard for<br>
online classes? I have a blind student who uses JAWS 6.1 and is<br>
interested in taking an online class where Blackboard 6 is used.
Before<br>
putting the student in the class, I'd like to be aware of any
problems<br>
that anyone has encountered.<br><br>
