Is the blackboard site user-friendly to the BN? I once tried to look at the
blackboard site using my PC and I couldn't make head nor tail of it.

I would also like to point out that more and more tests are via the
computer
on blackboard. This is the way the universities are moving so YES our
sighted peers are definitely using computers for tests. Universities now
days are pushing professors toward the digital age. In fact, this past
year
we had two professors use podcasts in their class as well as having more
activities online. This was not a distance education course either.
There also new devices being used across the country that are similar to a
tv remote that are being used to conduct in-class quizzes and pose
questions
when in a big lecture hall. Blind students need as many advantages as
they
can come up with. Using the BN for tests is only the tip of the ice berg.

One more point. Sighted people usually don't use cell phones or pdas for
tests or any kind of schoolwork. They usually use the plain old pencil and
pen.

Mike, you still have the cheating factor as well as the fact that sighted
students are not allowed to use computers, calculators or PDAs for
testing.
That being the case, we should not be allowed either. Case closed.
Take care.
