<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m exploring online teaching platforms for classes that AHEAD might teach that are a mix of asynchronous and synchronous content.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have thoughts on these products in relation to accessibility both for the students and instructors?

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there another that you might recommend? I’m looking for easy-to-use platforms. AHEAD probably wouldn’t be able to use Blackboard and some of those more costly ones.
