[Athen] Noodle courseware system

[Pratik Patel]

Having used the system a bit, I find it somewhat awkward.  While it's technically accessible, I find quite a few usability challenges with Moodle.  I'd rather use Blackboard or another open-source system like Sakai.

Hi Norm. I think you mean Moodle, with an em. Moodle is an open- 
source courseware product. While I don't know how accessible it  
currently is for users of screen readers, they do have an  
accessibility manifesto (my words, not theirs), which can be found at  
the following URL:

Best,
