The issue of accessibility is very clear in my mind because of my role working with special needs students in school. I have had the opportunity to work with members of SET BC and take advantage of programs and tools that they provide for greater accessibility. In the case of my own Moodle site, there are a couple of things that I notice with respect to accessibility. The way Moodle is designed, a lot of clicking and scrolling is involved. My site requires much clicking between resources, activities and external sites, which for some, may be challenging. Also, the size of the text in Moodle is by default very small (for the activity and resource titles). I did provide alternate text for my images as prompted. When checking my site through the Markup Validation Service, four errors were returned, but I didn’t understand what they referred to.
