Hi Justin,
I used keyNote and Pages for papers and presentations with great success.  I 
simply saved files in what ever format they needed to be in, PPT, .Doc, etc, no 
one ever experienced problems working with my documents on Pc's.  I used Safari 
to work with Blackboard, again with no problems.
I can't comment on online classes because I was in a campus setting, but I'd 
hope that safari would work there, too.  Do you know why your DSS people are 
saying you have to use Jaws?  I really hope this isn't the case! Let me know if 
you've got any more questions about how the mac worked for me in school!
