Hello,
Please look at www.ivocalize.com for a web conferencing software that can be
implemented without too much hassel, is relatively inexpensive, and is
completely accessible.
Please let me know if you have any questions after you review the
information provided on the web site.

Subject: Webconferencing Tools - Accessibility
We are considering using webconferencing in the future, but wonder about the
accessibility issues. Some of the common tools are WebEx, Placeware, Mshow.
Threre are several, but most have similar formats. Audio is either streamed
over the computer or via a telephone conference call while the visual part
of the presentation is delivered using a browser.
The computer screen is usually divided into 3 or more windows. The main
window shows the presentation - often a PowerPoint. There's generally a
small window with a chat feature where one can type in comments, and then
there may be a third window that shows administrative tools and/or lists the
participants. The presenter also has the ability to poll the users with
spontaneous pop-up surveys.
Have any of you that use screen readers like JAWS tried to participate in a
web conference like this? Were any portions of it accessible? What problems
did you encounter? I'd be interested in anything you could share or
anything written on this subject.
Thanks,
Joy Hall Bryant
