I have tried to find out whether Moodle is ADA compliant and have been unsuccessful. Can anyone help answer this question? Does Moodle provide any statement anywhere that addresses whether it is, or is not, ADA compliant?
What is ADA?
American Disabilities Act. I found the link at
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_Accessibility_Specification
Thanks for your followup.
I assume you mean the 'Americans with Disabilities Act', or whatever it is called.
Basically yes.
The most likely way that a Moodle site fails to comply is that a teach has done somthing bad, like not bothered to type in any alt text for an image. Therefore it does not really make sense to ask if Moodle, the system, complies. You can only really ask whether a specific Moodle site complies, and that is largely down to how it is set up.
Moodle, the system, tries very hard to follow all the accessibility best practice, and provide tools that make it easy to create an ADA complient site.
Plus many people may consider that Moodle is not Moodle without certain plugins and they may not all be entirely accessible.
Is there a list of accessible plug-ins or a way of figuring out which plug-ins are accessible. We are a government agency and accessibility is a must for our group.
No, there is no list of the degree of compatibility of plug-ins and figuring out which are compatible is not a trivial matter as there are some very subtle considerations. You might like to take a browse through the following links
