Web Accessibility tool

Introduction

The Yuja Panorama “Website Accessibility” tool provides several options to adjust the colour and content of Moodle web pages and labels. This does not include files such as word documents and slides that are uploaded to Moodle as the alternative formats menu deals with these.  

Both students and teachers can make adjustments in the “Content Adjustments” or “Color Adjustments” tabs, or choose one of the “Accessibility Profiles” which will automatically set the website to suit their specific needs. Once satisfied with their results, the user can save their adjustments for future use.
