<p class="MsoNormal">My group is currently evaluating numerous LMS solutions. There are other groups in the organization that are pushing for Blackboard Vista 9.1. I do not feel comfortable endorsing this product since there have been major accessibility problems
with blackboard in the past. Has anyone performed accessibility testing on Vista 9.1? Can anyone provide me with details on accessibility problems they have encountered with this product? Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
