If the local Moodle implementation has been done in accordance with their
guidance then there should not be a problem
https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Accessibility

Unfortunately their developed "accessibility" theme is pretty vanilla ice
cream is its presentation so users like to pretty it up and there comes the
problems.



My recommendation would be to try NVDA first, all the bad code in JAWS tends
to often time create more trouble when working with open source LMS's

Subject: [Athen] Moodle and screen readers



Hello all,



I have a student who is considering taking classes using Moodle (not through
our institution). He is wondering what is the status of Moodle and screen
readers. Does Moodle play nicely with JAWS and/or NVDA?



Thanks for any feedback.
