Subject: Blackboard Accessibility Discussion List

EASI is beginning a listserv discussion about the accessibility of
Blackboard.  They have done a tremendous amount of work in recent years
to improve the accessibility of the interface.  This work is to be
commended.  However, users still find problems.  Some problems are parts
of the interface needing additional modification.  Some of the problems
have more to do with the usability of a very complex system.  Last,
access is actually a combination of the coding of the system being used
and some of it has to do with both the adaptive technology the user is
using and also some has to do with the skill of that user.

The purpose of the list is not to be a platform for complaining.  We
want either current Blackboard users with disabilities or support people
helping users with disabilities.  We want to share what problems we have
found.  We also want to share work arounds or other tips that people
have found useful.

Our goal is first to help one another and second to make the relevant
Blackboard people aware of our findings as the continue working on
improving their system.

If you fall into this category and want to join the discussion, send
