This week the task and tip relate to the accessibility of resources on your Moodle course.

Accessible content benefits all students and staff at UCL. Blackboards Ally (a Moodle plugin) allows staff and students with specific needs to access file formats essential to their learning, whilst giving all students more control over how they access the content. It also assists staff in improving the accessibility of their content, and ensure UCL in meeting its legal obligations set out in the UK’s The Public Sector Bodies (Website and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations (2018). 

Note: Making all the content accessible on a course will take time. View the course report to guide you in what needs to be reviewed.  As you update content and files for the new academic year, view the accompanying report and see where the documents can be made more accessible.
