JAWS Screen Reader Demo
Improvements within Blackboard Learn™, Release 9.1 enable a blind person to more effectively interact with the Blackboard Learn platform - furthering not just accessibility technology, but educational advancement as well. The videos below are recorded sessions in which a blind user is using a JAWS screen reader to interact with and complete various tasks in Blackboard Learn including submitting an assignment, taking a test, building content and grading students.
Universal Design and Accessibility Course Archive
Your Blackboard Administrator can download an archive of the Universal Design and Accessibility course and restore it on your Blackboard server. You can then customize the course to reflect your school's policies and procedures as well as link to your school's assistive resources. A locally hosted course can be facilitated by an expert at your school, and used as part of teacher training, or as a student project.
