do for our student is download the paper in Word and put comments into it with “Track Changes” on. He said that has worked for him using JAWS.

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a student who is blind in my graduate class who is a JAWS user and cannot access comments in the gradebook In Blackboard made on their submitted written projects. The version of Blackboard that CUNY uses does not provide access to
the comments on graded material.<br>
<br>
The student asked me to send a separate file of the comments by email and/or grade their written project in Microsoft Word instead of online in the gradebook. If I just provide the comments, they are no longer linked to the text where the corrections belong.
Removed from their context, the comments don't make a lot of sense. I downloaded the student's project & proceeded to do a redaction with comments in Abbyy FineReader 15.0. Abbyy FineReader allows me to make the comments using Dragon NaturallySpeaking which
is something I can't use in Blackboard either.<br>
<br>
Abbyy FineReader allows for a number of different types of export file types, none of which include the comments. Do any of you have any quick ideas or suggestions on how to export the comments and save them so I can send them back to the student? Do you know
if JAWS will have access to/read the comments? I spent 4 hours on this so far and still have 10 more papers to grade. I want to make sure the student gets the information that she needs but I can't spend any more time trying to figure out how to enforce the
file to do something. <u></u><u></u></p>
