[Athen] Moodle and Jaws - tip sheets?

[Maria Bohn]

Does anyone have any RECENT information of the accessibility of Moodle and JAWS? Most of the students I work with who have one from of vision loss or blindness say they cannot access content especially file downloads so I tend to download them for them and reformat any PDF’s to Word. One student in particular wants to be able to use JAWS independently with Moodle but we keep hitting roadblocks (and to top it off Im deaf so Im not finding an easy way to self teach what I do not know yet) Tip sheets would be fantastic but the only thing I have found was app specific short cuts for Explorer or Firefox etc.

Any and all suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
