Hi, My college uses Black Board as well and I also find it very difficult to use with Jaws. A lot of my lecturers have given up using it for course material as even the sighted students can't find the material they are looking for. Now our lecturers put the notes on Xythos, give handouts or email them to us. We have just started using Xythos this year as they got rid of the S drive and we are all still figuring out how to use this new system as sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't tried using Xythos yet as I am still waiting on the technitions to put it on my computer. At the moment the lecturers email me the notes.
