Hi there.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I am using Windows 10 and JAWS 19. I am teaching a Masters of Ed. Course attempting to use Blackboard Collaborate Ultra. It is not pretty from an accessibility standpoint in my experience. I have four weeks left of a twelve week semester. I am a person who is totally blind. Alt m will turn your microphone on and off. I do find however it sometimes will not consistently perform the action. Usually JAWS will state whether it is toggling the microphone on or off. If it just says alt M and not the extended information it has not performed the action. I have the grad students doing a lot of different presentations and thus I do use hand up and down. This is accomplished by alt h toggle. Usually the screen is sharing PowerPoint so I don't usually use the camera, except maybe at the beginning of class and on the first day of class, but that toggle is alt c. If JAWS is focused in the chat bar to input information, I no longer hear what is being typed in the chat box by students. I just get the "pop" sound to notify me someone posted. Thus you don't want to leave focus on the chat bar and then you hear everyone's postings. I keep my system set at moderator status. Students are given presenter status as needed and a few times I have sent them the guest link for moderator status. This was a bit of a last minute request to teach this class so I did not have time to play around so much and I have not taught using Blackboard and Moodle before. In that regard, we decided it was most realistic that instead of me frustrating myself to no end and not getting things to work, we are co-teaching this course and my colleague is navigating the tech as we troubleshoot through. It is quite robust and we use the break-out rooms a lot. Recording the class is easy. There is a great timer option. Breakout groups can be done randomly or manually. A shortfall is if students are in breakout rooms, their whiteboards do not get transferred back to the main room. We added in using OneNote to facilitate this ease of transfer. Students had been copying their group charts into Word and pasting them in the main room white board but we are finding OneNote preferable. Prior to leaving the class, I would encourage you to go through the entire chat bar/white board and copy all the input from students and keep it for your records. I just put it in a word doc. It is all time stamped and students named, so you can really get a better overview of student participation using that format. Lots of the students also use microphone and participate by audio. This is captured only on the class recording though. I am not sure if that helps. You can reach me privately contacting sharon.ballantyne@gmail.com . Sharon

No, this is not correct. I always download the latest update from Freedomscientific.com, and click on the installation file in the downloads folder.

Blackboard does not play nicely with Internet Explorer. My student used google Chrome with it, although I understand Firefox works well also.

A control/z should bring back the deleted email if you perform the action immediately. Otherwise, do a control y and go to your trash box. I think you’ll find it there.

Is there a way to get the email from the backup? Thanks, Kevin

List Rules - Sat, 06/01/2019
#cal-notice
main@jfw.groups.io Calendar <noreply@...>
List Rules When: Description: http://groups.io/g/jfw/wiki/List-Policies
**List Policies** 1: Keep it clean. We're a family list, and there are people here who probably don't want to hear everything *exactly* that's running through your head. If you wouldn't see it on TV, it doesn't belong in a post to the list. If you're not sure, email the administration before you post it to the list. Otherwise, you stand to see your posts moderated. 2: Stay on topic. We're a JFW-oriented list. That said, anything related to JFW, its functionality with programs etc is acceptable. If it doesn't have to do with JFW, it doesn't belong on the list. This includes, but isn't limited to, talk of other screen readers such as Window Eyes. 3: Listen to, and respect, the wishes of the admins/moderators. If you're asked by an admin or moderator to drop a subject, or take something to private emails (in the instance of two people carrying on a thread list-wide), please do so. If the subject is changed on a thread by an admin or moderator, it will be explained why in the email sent out with it. Please don't continue replying to the old subject. 4: Don't ask over the list for a position on the list administration. If you'd like to help out, it's of course welcome, but address the request to do so to the admin team, otherwise it'll be ignored. Requests are always welcome, whether help is being looked for or not. When help is needed, a post will be made to the list. The requests already received will be kept in mind. 5: Keep flaming to a minimum. This is not limited to flaming of each other, but goes beyond that, to flaming of products, opinions, ideas, suggestions, etc. Constructive criticism never hurts. Flame wars, especially public ones, both drive people from this list and are unwelcome here. either take the problem to private emails, or report the problem to list administration. 6. Respect the opinions and views of others. This is *very* important in any environment, most especially an online environment where the only gage one has on a person is what that person puts to writing. If you come off as hostile in your posting, whether you intended to or not, people will take it as such. Online, "face value" means just that. People make mistakes, people don't always have access to the same information you do. For that matter, people don't always have the same experience you do. If you know how someone can solve their problem, great. Suggest it to them and/or the list. Do *not* proceed to tell someone, on or off list, that they have no business posting. Repeat offenders of this particular rule will be banned for a week to 30 days, depending on the severity. Serious problems will be banned permanently. As always, if there are problems or questions with regards these policies, don't hesitate to send them off-list to jfw+owner@groups.io James,

Re: Accessing files using Jaws and Googledrive
Jerry Berrier <jerry.berrier@...>
This really requires more than can be given in an e-mail, but here are a few things. Once you have Drive open: Jaws key-z to turn off the virtual cursor. It will turn back on every time you go to a different window, so you always need to remember to keep turning it off. Once it is off. gn puts you in navigation mode, and then you can use the arrow keys to find files and folders. Gl puts you in files mode, so you can arrow up and down through the files in the current folder. Enter on a file to open it.
This barely scratches the surface. I recommend you find one of the many tutorials available for JAWS users online to learn the Google products.

How to get Jaws 2019 to read table headers in Access 2016?
Russell Solowoniuk
Hi all,
I'm using Access 2016 as part of Office 365 at work with Jaws 2019 on a Windows 10 machine. I'm updating our inventory in an inventory database that I created. As I navigate through my inventory table, Jaws is not reading the column headers, so I am not certain I am in the correct field. I know that Jaws used to read the column headers, but can't seem to find a setting to turn this feature on. NVDA reads the column headers, but I'd prefer to use Jaws if possible. Any ideas? Thanks, Russell

Re: Accessing files using Jaws and Googledrive
Quite a bit more information would be needed, as Google Drive files can be sent and accessed by a number of means.
Is the file being sent as an attachment on e-mail? If so, the e-mail client should be able to download it. Is it being sent to you via a link in an e-mail message? Is someone sharing a folder and/or file on Google Drive with specific individuals? If so, do you have Google Drive Sync installed on your computer which allows Google Drive content, including shared content, to be viewed within File Explorer just like your local files are. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.

Hi all - yep Sieghard, I obviously did miss this (along with a few others by the looks) so sorry about asking the question again - need to learn how to search the site better I think!!!! The unticking the preference in AcrobatDC Security aDvanced Settings did the trick. Its a home computer so no problems with admin right etc.
Apologies for the long delay to say thanks to all - in Western Australia, I am in bed asleep when you are all getting up and answering questions in the US and Europe. Thanks again Cheers Mark
