Yes, I use Blakcbaord all of the time. I was unable to use it with Safari/Voiceover, but have been able to without any problems at all with Chrome web browser and ChromeVox extension from Chrome Web Store. It works flawlessly with all of Blackboard, including discussion board. In college setting, I can have Blackbaord as CMS, CourseSmart as eTextbook, and Docs for productivity suite, and for it to be fully accessible and a great experience. I absolutely enjoy it and appreciate that Google has made this possible across multiple platforms with a unified experience.
