Re: JAWS and Blackboard follow-up
Adrian Spratt
I’ve long since graduated from university. However, as an alum of two places, I’ve gone straight to the web designers when encountering problems on their websites. In my experience, they tend to be interested in solving accessibility issues. So two thoughts. First, if you can determine the people who design your university website, try them. Second, if you happen to know an alum who would respect the difficulty you’re having, maybe ask them to intervene on your behalf. Universities tend to respond to alum concerns because any money they give them is given purely voluntarily.

They need to be bombarded with complaints from the actual users. The complaint ticket that I submitted months ago through the university fizzled. Another ticket was opened again recently at my university by another student, but I am sure that will fizzle also. Single complaints from a school here, a school there is not currently working. Some how a conglomerate effort to get them to change their platform or revert it back to the pre-summer build is what needs to happen.

Hi Maria,

Sorry for the delay as I was watching the inauguration this morning. Anyway, as long as you were getting groups.Iowe messages to that Hotmail account I would leave it. I was not getting groups.io emails to my .MSN (yes I know it’s old) account. As a result, I created an outlook account and I am now getting most of my group .io emails in that account. I have created folders under the inbox to separate out the messages I want to keep from each of the groups. I owe list that I am on.

not make software decisions for a university nor do they respond to civil rights complaints. You need to file a written complaint of disability discrimination with the university office that handles such complaints. The university needs to find a means of effective communication that enables you to have the same level of access to the information other students have, weather Blackboard is recoded or other measures are taken. I will not go into the legal technicalities here. If you have not joined the National Federation of the Blind, they will welcome your membership and be happy to help with your situation. I am an NFB member in Illinois and we regularly receive situations like this. Kelly

Re: Can You Copy Text from a Zoom Chat?
Mario
the speech history feature in JAWS can also be used to copy the address. press insert+spacebar and then h, which lists the last 50 items that JAWS has spoken. navigate the virtual window with standard cursor navigation keystrokes, select, copy and paste the information where ever you want.

Re: JAWS and Blackboard follow-up

Have you considered contacting the American Council of the Blind and the National Federation of the Blind to get help pressuring them to fix the issues? Also, filing an ADA complaint?

Since universities usually receive federal funds, they are supposed to make sure all services are accessible.
I'd even consider contacting your Congress representatives and senators. If anyone of them would just contact Blackboard, that might be enough to get them moving.

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."

Re: gmail question
By activating the Settings control, which is on the very same page as your inbox. Then, once that control is activated, the See all settings button. Once you are in settings, going to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, then activating the Disable forwarding radio button, then activating the Save Changes button.
The default landing page when you open Gmail is the inbox page. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. ~ André Gide

Re: Listing Tabs
Cohn, Jonathan
Assuming you are talking about tabs in web pages, and not the tab of a browser, these tabs are listed in the form fields area. I believe JAWS also has them show up as part of combo boxes.
