Moodle Accessibility Practices
Kicking off the first drop-in clinic of 2022, we showcased the best practices you can adopt in your Moodle courses to improve accessibility.
This was an hour-long showcase hosted by Kellie Mote (Jisc) and Gavin Henrick (Brickfield Education Labs).
Here’s what we covered:
- An overview of the ‘Moodle Accessibility Toolkit’ functionality – what it does, what it doesn’t do
- The importance of WCAG
- The addition of Brickfield Labs Moodle Accessibility Toolkit as a Moodle Certified Integration
- How to approach accessibility in Moodle course content
