Hello Shanna, Although many portions of the Blackboard platform can be navigated with VO through Safari, there is one area that is difficult and, as far as I am concerned, inadequately "accessible."
I am referring to the discussion areas where students interact with one another and their teachers. I believe that Blackboard calls this area their Bulletin Board area. While I am not saying that it is impossible to use the Bulletin Board, I am stating that it is difficult. I have suspended my graduate studies until Blackboard has properly addressed this issue. It was possible for me to look at class syllabi and download class lectures, however. My university also uses Blackboard version 9.1. Although I cannot confirm this, I have heard that it is possible to fully access the Bulletin Board with Google's Chrome browser, but I have been unable to confirm this since I don't know how to go about installing Chrome on my Mac.
