Survey of accessibility in online education websites

I'm putting together a *very* general overview of accessibility of some of the major online education websites, such as Coursera, EdX, and Udemy, based on my personal experience, along with some tips for finding universities and instructors who are amenable to improving the accessibility of their online courses.

I would love to hear about other people's experiences, positive or negative, with these online course websites.

Also, it suddenly occurred to me that I don't really know anything about which of the AI transcribing programs are the best and worst, which work better or worse with accents, and which programs are best for creating captions. I'm sure I know people who have user experience which would be really useful to hear, if they wish to share it. Thanks!

My Alexa is definitely getting into the groove

and the singularity is continuing to evolve here in the Aerye.

I've been taking a course on using NVDA, an open source screen reader for Windows users (you can find out more and download it at nvaccess.org ), and this morning I was installing it on my new Microsoft Surface laptop, and tweaking the settings, and I guess Alexa was digging the new screen reader, because she started responding to it and, ultimately, recommended the Boston Caribbean Network Radio

which is definitely playing some awesome tunes, including a lot of great drumming.

Also, I finally figured out where the occasional random synthetic voice comments were coming from: it turns out that Jaws new virtual assistant, Sharky, is on by default, and even though I don't evoke it by name, occasionally it inserts a confused comment like "I don't know that" into my Zoom meetings, and I was wondering what was talking because, obviously, I have a lot of chatty AI-wanna bes putting their virtual two cents in here.
