We are currently looking for an accessible web-conferencing system as we migrate to Moodle 2 and have conferenced with Blackboard Collaborate. We're waiting for guest accounts so that we can test the system ourselves. One member of our team is a Computer Science student who is blind and who uses a screen reader so, with his assistance, we're able to effectively do this work. This has raised awareness levels of our team considerably.

Are others finding that Blackboard Collaborate lives up to its accessibility claims?
