[Athen] Moodle and screen readers

[Maria Bohn]

My students who use JAWS are unable to navigate easily within Moodle. In fact the only ones who can navigate it with JAWS are those with low vision so I am assuming they use partial sight to navigate thru it.

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.
