I know Hadley is cool; I had classes with them before!
I'm more worried that, more than should have to, students that are visually
impaired are not, independently, sailing and are needing outside assistance far
too often and instructors are being permitted to feel comfortable with having
them do it.

It is hard to say Charles
The classes over the internet would be 100% accessible.
The Excel class They mailed me the workbook and I used my CCTV and emailed
them my test. I thought it was quite accessible.
The coarse on the Old Testament was on audio tape and I emailed them the
test.
Hadley is the school for the blind so it has to be accessible.

Let's not forget
The Hadley school has computer classes and they are free.
I beta tested an Excel coarse a few years ago and learned a lot.

To add:
Some people can't really get the "technical" theory together but, need
the computer just as much as the rest of the world does. For them, a series of
nice recordings of skilled users of Jaws and other speech and audible program,
succeeding and sort of describing as they are going along so, would, I believe,
be an enormous help.
A very thoughtful world would realize that by default, many, won't be
able to be adept at using computers, just as, many, will!
Everybody can breathe and eat and such, but, everybody can't perform
all skills with an equal degree of proficiency.
I've known many people with all of their vision, and other faculties,
but, couldn't even, drive a car, nor, swim and more!

I would score accessibility as an 8. Are you doing a survey?

Charles,
I have taken online courses at TCC, and will be taking another in
the fall.
Once you learn to navigate the Blackboard web page, it is fairly
accessible. Blackboard is the main page for most colleges and universities.
Course work may involve other applications, such as Excel, Word, Access, and
PowerPoint. While these programs are not as accessible, instructors are very
helpful in making materials easier to use. I even had communication with a
blind professor at FSU who consulted with one of my professors. This was
regarding an online course in macroeconomics.
I hope this information is helpful.

Anyone taking online courses in our group?
Are you getting the job done independently?
Has any leaders of the blind made a list of schools and
universities which are accessible and, not accessible?
Is it a website?
Thanks!
Charles Atkins
