Nonvisual Accessibility Gold Certification
National Federation of the Blind
On August 12, 2010, Blackboard announced that the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) awarded Blackboard Learn its Nonvisual Accessibility Gold Certification, stating that the company's software was the most accessible education application that the NFB had tested and making it the first and only learning management system to achieve certification.
In addition to the certification, Blackboard was awarded the NFB's Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award for "groundbreaking work in accessibility." In recognition of the award, Blackboard launched the Blackboard Accessibility Grant to support further work to enable education for students with disabilities. The new program is supported by the $10,000 Bolotin Award amount and a $15,000 match from Blackboard, creating five separate grants to fund projects that help further access to education for students with disabilities.
