Hello
A couple of blind students here report problems with Blackboard using
JAWS screenreader software. Neither is using the most recent version of
JAWS, but Blackboard claim compatibility with 3.5 and above. Here's what
one student writes:
I use jaws 5.10.
The problem I have with Blackboard, is getting to where I'm supposed to
get to. When I try and visit Blackboard, I have problems logging on
(There is no log in option). Obviously there is an option to log in to
Blackboard, it just doesn't appear on my screen reader, for some reason.
I'm not sure what is causing this (I don't have this problem with any
other website)! I can read what is on the screen perfectly, there is
just no option for me to log on and access my Blackboard area.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Our login page is at http://online.tvu.ac.uk/
Have we inadvertently done something to make the login box invisible to
JAWS?
thanks
