Thanks Lynn for the updated link.
Yes, I too think that's 7 pm.
If I were taking the class, I'd at least ask her how much of the presentation
was specific to a certain screen reader? If I were teaching it in her place,
I'd try to make the class work for all screen readers and magnifiers, but you'd
want to be sure about that before giving over your money.
I just attended a week long webinar, billed as having live audio, but it
turned out they only had an audio feed to you (the student), and no way for the
student to ask questions via the audio link; it was a big disappointment
because of that, so I'd also ask her about the audio arrangements, and how and
when the students would be able to interact with the instructor to allow for
questions. Our webinar only allowed email-like questions, and the instructors
tended to forget about them because they also had live students present, so
maybe an hour after a topic was covered they'd remember to check the questions,
and of course the class had long since moved on, so they'd give some quick
answer and go back to the class. I'm sure Kathy Ann is a much better teacher
than they were, and more aware of the needs of her audience, but I'd still want
to know if there would be a chance for questions; you get so much more out of a
class where you can interact with the instructor.

I wasn't able to get the link to work for me so below is the blurb from the
tips along with the link. The class is spred over four Wednesdays at 23 hundred
hours GMT. Would that be 7 pm eastern time? The class cost $80 and the link
takes you to the payment page. there isn't any specifics on what the class
covers.
