Hi

Is anyone else using Blackboard 6.0? They have not responded to my questions
about accessibility and there are a couple of things I'd love some specifics
on, namely the chat and the assessment interface.

The chat is a new version and is supposed to be accessible, but I haven't been
able to get a screen reader to read it, although I can input text. Hopefully I
just don't have the info on this.

thanks

Sandy Andrews

The Law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich, as well as the
poor, to sleep under the bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal
bread. - Anatole France
