Accessibility is a constant focus in the development of Moodle.org, which is based on Moodle LMS. With every Moodle release, we dedicate resources to improve accessibility in order to ensure that our software is accessible for everyone who uses it. We are keen to hear from people with suggestions for making Moodle Academy more accessible.

This website is built according to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) level AA.

This means you should be able to:

  • Enlarge text by zooming in.
  • Read the text and view images that have a high contrast to their background.
  • Change the background and text colour and fonts using browser plugins.
  • Navigate the website using only a keyboard.
  • Navigate using a screen-reader and speech-recognition software.
  • Listen to texts and image descriptions using a screen-reader (such as NVDA).

The Accessibility conformance report (VPAT) for Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) is a statement from Moodle on how Moodle LMS complies with the WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines. 

Moodle LMS obtained WCAG 2.1 level AA accreditation for Moodle 4x which means it now meets WCAG 2.1 AA level compliance. Moodle will continue to keep this accreditation up to date with follow up audits for future releases.

Moodle's default TinyMCE text editor and Atto editor both include accessibility checkers to scan course content and alerts users to a range of accessibility issues that may be found within the text.

Moodle includes the Brickfield Accessibility Starter Toolkit. This toolkit assists teachers in building accessible course content by checking the course for common accessibility concerns and provides detailed reports on issues found. Moodle Academy uses this tool to help test for accessibility issues before courses are made available to learners.
