Moodle alcanza WCAG 2.1 AA

Según la publicación The Moodle LMS achieves WCAG 2.1 AA Accessibility compliance, Moodle es un sistema de gestión del aprendizaje accesible:

In the case of Moodle 3.9 and 3.10, our team has been working closely with an independent, third-party accessibility expert to ensure that our LMS is compliant with the latest Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) of the World Wide Web Consortium: WCAG 2.1 AA. 

At the end of 2019, we requested an accessibility audit to Digital Accessibility Specialists WebKeyIT. For this audit, we selected 20 key representative pages that not only students, but also teachers and administrators use the most in Moodle, as we wanted to ensure that our LMS was accessible for all types of users.

The pages that were audited include, amongst others, the Login page, the Dashboard, Quizzes, Calendar, the Course page, the Participant page and the gradebook. During the audit, experts identified accessibility issues that were preventing some of our users from having an optimal Moodle experience. In the months leading to November 2020, our team worked on solving these issues, and with the release of Moodle 3.10, our LMS obtained the  WCAG 2.1 level AA Accreditation. This certification is valid for a year, and we’re committed to keep making our software accessible to all users, as this is the only way of really making education accessible to everyone.
