Re: [JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system
Don't think that is the problem. Because i have used blackBoard with different versions of jaws and with no problems. i think the problem is a lack of understanding the interface and wanting to do the job.

Re: [JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system
I'm trying to remember who did a blackboard tutorial or who was trained to teach it. I think his name was Norm, and he was with the group that does accessibility stuff with college students. He teaches online courses, and I took one, but for the life of me cannot remember the web site! I'd recognize it if I heard it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system
The original questioner was looking for *tips with JAWS*, and then commented on a local consensus that it wasn't just a problem for JAWS users.

I have been having a lot of problems accessing my uni website for my Psychology studies. The uni has began using a thing called blackboard learning system. it uses some Java and so obviously gives Jaws problems. Have any of the students on list been able to master this system. I am able(with a lot of use of the Jaws cursor), able to get into things I need to, but it is very time consuming. Have spoken to the I.T guys at the uni. They help as much as they can, but they even say it is a problem even for students in general, not just with Jaws. Any tips will be helpful. thanks Jason P.S I have XP home and Jaws 8 and I.E 6.

Re: [JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system
Obviously, the IT people there do not have sufficient power to change the e-modus operandi. - budget constraints from hier up the bureaucracy, and what not. - Original Message - From: Chris Hallsworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 9:11 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system Jason and all, I have an opinion on this. If the university in question knows darn well that Blackboard is difficult for all students, not just VI students, then why are they using it in the first place? Couldn't they just use Moodle or some other VLE instead? At least with Moodle JAWS can access it no problem as there's no Java, as far as I can tell anyway. Sorry for the ranting, but there goes my two pence worth anyway, smiles. - Original Message - From: jason smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 8:35 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system Hi list, especially those uni students on the list.
