I've now used Blackboard for three semesters at a local community college, and have found the experience to be rather painless. One of my classes had one or two graphical links on the page for each correctly labeled link on the page, and as such browsing that class's site was a bit less than efficient, but even that one was tolerable. Sometimes, I've found that the rules put on a test by an instructor force the PC to pop up a confirmation dialog box whenever you choose an answer on a test and opt to go on to the next question, but I found that doing the test backward in that situation would allow me to do it without having to wait through those dialogs each time. And, finally, sometimes there are graphics associated with given questions on quizzes and tests. If I ever missed a question on account of a graphic, I noted the question and associated graphic, emailed the instructor pointing it out, and had no problem getting the points awarded or alternate questions asked. Blackboard does a great job of using attributes accessible by screen readers to make their sites very easy to navigate, and I've found the experience of classes via that software to be pleasurable and efficient. If you've particular questions that I didn't cover here, let me know and I'll answer as best I can.
