May need editing for local Moodle sites.

<h1>Accessibility</h1>
<h2>Accessibility Statement</h2>
<p>This site has been tested in a range of browsers and with screen reader software.</p>
<p>Moodle uses semantic markup to assist screen reader users among others &mdash; site, page
and block headings use &lt;h1&gt;, &lt;h2&gt;, navigation blocks are lists &lt;ul&gt; and so on.
</p>
<p>Moodle complies with the World Wide Web Consortium's [<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/" title="Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0">Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0</a>] level 1, most of level 2
[<a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG1AA-Conformance" title="About Double-A WCAG conformance">about Double-A conformance</a>]
and some level 3. Through these guidelines we aim to comply with local laws regarding access to those with disabilities.
We are currently working to improve the accessibility and usability of Moodle.
At present there are still some tables used for layout, but in general presentation (using style sheets) is separated from content.
</p>
<p>We welcome feedback, particularly reports of any inaccessible content. Please contact us via
[<a href="./message/discussion.php?id=2">Message to admin</a>]
[<a href="mailto:webmaster@MYSITE.EDU" title="Email us">webmaster@MYSITE.EDU</a>]
</p>
<h2>Access keys</h2>
<p>At present we don't specify access keys, but we intend implementing them for a future release of Moodle.</p>
<h2>Links</h2>
<p>Many links have title attributes
that describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already
fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article). If a link has
an access key this will be announced in the link title.</p>
<p>Whenever possible, links are written to make sense out of context.</p>
<p>There are no javascript: pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any
browser, even if scripting is turned off. There are no links that open
new windows without warning.</p>
<h2>Images</h2>
<p>All images use the alt attribute to
provide alternate text where appropriate; images that are purely decorative
contain a null alt attribute. Images, such as maps, that present complex
information have a longdesc attribute linking them to a text description of the
image content. When a page is viewed using the simplified layout the content of
this description page is displayed along with the image it describes.</p>
<h2>Standards compliance</h2>
<p>This site is built using valid
<acronym title="Extensible Hyper-Text Markup Language">XHTML</acronym>
for markup and uses CSS for presentation. All XHTML pages are served using
the application/xhtml+xml MIME type to browsers that accept it - this helps us
ensure that the content on all pages remains well-formed.</p>
