<div>Hello, all.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I recently had JAWS user try to participate in a webinar hosted on Collaborate and she was unable to access it. Upon further investigation, I realized that I could not access it either. This was on a PC that had previously worked with Collaborate using
the same version of JAWS I had used before. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I ran to Teresa Haven (as I often do) and she was able to learn that bit agreement between OS, JAWS and Java was necessary (as well as enabling the Java Access Bridge). I was able to set things up to make it work but when I tried using NVDA with the same
setup, it did not work. I have not experimented with Window Eyes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This does not meet the standard of accessibility want to meet. I wonder if anyone else has any wisdom to share on this. Has anyone else been in communication with Blackboard about this?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your thoughts are appreciated.</div>
