On June 28th, 2021, we ran our first online conference. Thank you to everyone who took part in our Accessible Content for Moodle Online Conference. We were delighted to have such an amazing line-up of sessions.


Last week at MoodleMoot Italia in Ferrara, we explored what it means to give learners genuine agency in digital education. Beyond accessibility compliance, the conversations focused on creating flexible systems that put learners in control – of format, pace, and experience. It was a reminder that meaningful progress comes from thoughtful design and a committed community working together.

As December rolls around, social media feeds fill with slickly produced ‘year in review’ videos. Companies showcase their achievements, milestones, and memorable moments through dynamic montages set to upbeat music. These videos are designed to inspire, connect, and celebrate.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth: many of these celebratory videos actively exclude significant portions of the very audiences they’re trying to reach.
Not through malice, but through design choices that create barriers. And once you recognise those barriers, you can’t unsee them.

The Educause Annual Conference returned to Nashville in October 2025, uniting higher-education leaders, technologists, and innovators in a powerful exploration of the future of digital learning. Guided by the theme “Restoring Trust”, this year’s event underscored the importance of building confidence through secure, inclusive, and student-centred technology.
Brickfield Education Labs was proud to take part in the Emerging Tech Experience, where we showcased our next-generation accessibility solutions and connected with institutions committed to designing more equitable learning environments. Across keynotes, partner collaborations, and hands-on conversations, one message resonated clearly: accessibility is no longer optional — it’s foundational to the future of higher education.

At MoodleMoot Global 2025 in Edinburgh, accessibility took centre stage as Gavin Henrick, Co-Founder of Brickfield Education Labs, unveiled the 18-Point Accessibility Skills Framework. Moving beyond compliance checklists, Gavin encouraged educators to see accessibility as a confidence-building practice — one that empowers both teachers and learners to create content that works for everyone. From captions and clear layouts to descriptive links and plain language, the framework turns accessibility into everyday design habits. Attendees left inspired, equipped with practical tools like the Brickfield Accessibility Tip Zine and Tip Cube, and motivated to make inclusive learning an engaging, ongoing journey.
