      Moodle's goal is to be fully accessible and usable for all users regardless of ability, and the WCAG. 2.1, Level AA, guidelines are followed.

      Wrexham University aims to ensure that teaching, learning and assessment resources built in and/or uploaded to Moodle are fully accessible to all users. 

      Using Moodle

      There are a number of accessibility features in Moodle, that mean you should be able to:

      • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
      • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
      • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
      • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
      • listen to most of the website using a screen reader. Moodle officially supports a range of screen readers, including NVDA Screen Reader (Windows), JAWS Screen Reader (Windows), Chromevox Screen Reader (Linux, Chrome OS, Windows, Mac OS X), Orca Screen Reader (Linux).
