Re: [SEC508] Accessible distance learningplatforms

[Jon Gunderson <jongund@illinois.edu>]

I have been using for about a year and Norm Combs/EASI has been using it for several 
years.

1. It seems pretty accessible to screen reader users on windows.  
2. Captioning support is not integrated into the tool, they have an optional external 
tool, but I  have not tries
3. Only supports windows, there does not seem to be aupport for Mac or UNIX.
