qualify for free use. I’ve suggested they block uoregon.edu and let students use their “personal” accounts. They’re considering it. - James<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hmm - interesting response. Perhaps they (Robobraille) see the usage from certain email addresses and are thinking it may be originating from the institution's use? One option may be to have students use a personal email account that is
not affiliated with the institution. I am curious as to what the usage volume may be to result in this response from Robobraille.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Full disclosure - we are using a variation on the Robobraille/Sensus Access system and encountered the opposite issue. Students wanted to use any email address and we require them to use their @stanford account in our system. The upside
for me is that I can track system usage (although not specific individuals) to assess the volume. Were they able to provide information about volume or is it just any use?<o:p></o:p></p>

off of BlackBoard etc. and a the student needs it converted quickly to keep working.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:4.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I have received an e-mail or two from them suggesting we (U Oregon) need an agreement with them. We do not use it at all in our production process. I simply make
students aware of it and the students then use it or not as individuals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
