Accessibility doesn't stop when content is published. Brickfield helps staff create accessible Moodle content. ReadSpeaker helps learners engage with it in the way that works best for them. If you're at #MoodleMootEurope, don't miss the accessibility sessions from both teams. #Accessibility

Access to information is a right. But if a website can't be navigated, or a video can't be followed, is that access really available to everyone? On the International Day for Universal Access to Information, its important to remind people that access goes beyond availability. #Accessibility

Do screen readers actually read the screen?
Most screen readers never look at the rendered screen. Instead, they get information from the browser in two ways.
