Scott,
As you can tell, I'm weeks behind in my email and am trying to catch up.
I attended University of Phoenix for a few years and experienced
significant difficulties in accessibility with their online classroom
setting and the Mac.
To start with, as of February 2007 when I finished, they didn't even
support Safari as an optional browser. That could have changed but I
don't know for sure.
Beyond this though, I found you could work online in Safari but the
design and structure of their site is really a pain in the neck.
I know nothing about Blackboard so can't comment on that. Just thought
I'd offer my insights and experiences. While at U of P online I kept
my Windows PC up and running but believe me, the day I finished I went
100 percent to the Mac.

Great, thanks. If that's the worst I'd have to deal with, it won't
be to bad. Well ok, I should say won't be to bad as long as the
screen isn't laid out in some insane way that navigating it is
illogical. :) The Phoenix courses are a bit shorter at five weeks
verses 8 with APU, but the advantage is that Blackboard is at least
aware of accessibility and I believe they actually work hard to make
their products accessible. Phoenix I gather has their own homebrew
setup and when I looked at it when my co-worker was attending, it
wasn't impossible, but it wasn't painless either and I suspect with
Safari it wouldn't be possible. I always have my employers windows
laptop to fall back on at least.

hi;
it's doable, but you have to interact with a lot of frames, it can
be a pain but can be done
