Designing for All: Student-Centered Accessibility in Moodle
Learning Management Systems like Moodle can be wonderful resources for our students but it also has the potential to create (unintentional) barriers. This presentation will explore the ways we can consider both web and cognitive accessibility in our Moodle courses, flipping the perspective with a demonstration on what students may see and experience whilst navigating the platform in their studies.
