Thank you and yes, I believe I'll have to use my employers laptop for
this adventure. I checked out APUS which is another online university
and that didn't seem to work well with Safari either. The Phoenix site
is not all that swift on windows, but on the Mac using Safari, it's
beyond ugly.
THanks for confirming this for me.

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
