Introduction

An online presence for in-person courses is becoming more of an expectation from students these days. By providing course materials online, it creates a more inclusive and accessible learning environment since materials can be accessed outside of the classroom - anytime, anywhere, and at the students’ own pace.

Specific accessibility practices to implement within Moodle are explored in Module 1: Formatting Course Content so it's Accessible. This module focuses on strategies for organizing and presenting your course elements to create an easy-to-navigate Moodle course for your students. It is organized into four main elements of a Moodle course:

A. Course Menu

B. Home Page

C. Course Content

D. Assessments
