How can the Accessibility Overview Block in Moodle be used to improve accessibility compliance for users?

Hi Peterson, many thanks for your question!

As mentioned in this plugin's description, the purpose of the Accessibility Overview Block is to show you what various Accessibility features are possible on your Moodle site.

It provides links to help a site administration to register for the free Accessibility Toolkit (in core Moodle), or to do further research on the Accessibility+ Toolkit, which is a commercial version with many more features and added services.

Ultimately though, improving accessibility compliance for users comes down to technology, culture, and skills, and an organisation's available capacity, as our CEO Gavin Henrick outlines here in a recent LinkedIn Post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/gavinhenrick_meet-gavin-henrick-from-brickfield-education-activity-7370742735609163776-xgfF

it’s a neat add-on if you want a quick snapshot of how your site holds up accessibility-wise without diving into full reports. The fact that it ties into the Brickfield toolkit makes it more than just a static checklist you can jump straight into fixing flagged issues. For admins and course designers, that’s a time-saver and keeps accessibility from being an afterthought.
