Hi guys,I use a BN and am an instructor. I use webCT to collect homework and post asignments for my students. The main screens work ok. I am able to add modify and delete asignment drop boxes, enter grades, and do other things to the class pages. As Joseph said, several of the other features are difficult to use. The chat screens are crazy with JAWS and I haven't tried them with the BN.
This is actually a very pertinant issue because, at least here in the state of California, all government web sites including instructor and university sites, must be 508 compliant by June I believe. I'm guessing that this will include any web applications which the state contracts out. There is an upgrade to webCT coming in the next few months to our system and it will be interesting to see if it is more accessible. Rusty On 2/18/07, Joseph Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Rob, I had issues with Web CT before. It does not work with KeyWeb at all (especially writing screens). It requires some sort of JavaScript suppoqt that BrailleNote does not have. Also, sometimes "Fatal Application Dialog" appears when using Web CT.
