Accessibility

+ +

Accessibility Statement

+ +

This site has been tested in a range of browsers and with screen reader software.

+ +

Moodle uses semantic markup to assist screen reader users among others — site, page + and block headings use <h1>, <h2>, navigation blocks are lists <ul> and so on. +

+ +

Moodle complies with the World Wide Web Consortium's [Web + Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0] level 1, most of level 2 + [about Double-A conformance] + 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. +

+ +

We welcome feedback, particularly reports of any inaccessible content. Please contact us via + [Message to admin] + [webmaster@MYSITE.EDU] +

+ + +

Access keys

+ +

At present we don't specify access keys, but we intend implementing them for a future release of Moodle.

+ + +

Links

+ +

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.

+ +

Whenever possible, links are written to make sense out of context.

+ +

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.

+ + +

Images

+ +

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.

+ + +

Standards compliance

+ +

This site is built using valid + XHTML + 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.
