I just blogged about that http://www.jebswebs.net/blog/

Backstory is the company is now working with the Blackboard Accessibility
Interest Group http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/collaborate/blackboard/ being
headed up folks at UIUC. I spoke with one of their leads last week and the
best estimate is that it will be a year before the new accessible product is
available. The problems are more in the back end/admin/course development
side.

Read my blog for some other background.

If you are interested in helping the Interest Group, they are looking for
more participation. My guess is the company may need more convincing and
numbers count.
