Thanks Tom,
My bet is that they don't have the accessible version of the course
player....I will follow-up! Thanks! Karen

Good morning Karen.
I have been involved recently in a discussion with blind users trying to
access skill soft course ware. These users are from the non government
community. Below is the text of their emails:
Reed,
I just retired from Verizon a couple of weeks ago. Over the past few years
I was involved in trying to ensure that our Skillsoft courses would be
accessible. As I understand it, your company must specifically tell
Skillsoft that they want accessible versions. Skillsoft will then provide
Jaws scripts that really work quite well. If you use a screen reader other
than Jaws, I don't believe there's any help currently available.
After installing the Jaws scripts, I was able to take a course with only
minimal difficulty.

Subject: SkillSoft courses?
My employer has an ELearning gateway that makes hundreds of courses
available to us. Many of the courses are with SkillSoft. I have just
signed-up for an introductory course on java. I've launched the course and
am having difficulty navigating through it. If you have had any exposure to
the SkillSoft courses, and have comments (good or bad) I'd really like to
hear from you. I'd also like to hear from someone who can recommend a set of
JAWS friendly JAVA courses. You can send your comments to the list or to me
directly at Reed.Poynter@xxxxxxxxxx Thanks!
Reed

Hi Tom,
How are you? Is was nice to see you at the IDEAS conference. I have a
question for you. How do I access the SkillSoft accessible courses from
within GoLearn? I was able access the standard version of the courses but
not the accessible versions. Can you help?
Thanks,
Karen
