This link isn't purely related to accessibility, but
for those looking to assess aspects of a variety of aspects of their online
courses it could be useful:
-
learner support and resource
-
online organisation and
design
-
instructional design and
delivery
-
assessment and evaluation of student
learning
-
innovative teaching with
technology
-
faculty use of student
feedback

Is there an accessibility standard we can point to
as our benchmark to aspire to for our
VLE? We'd like to find or create a standard that we can run
checks against every so often and thereby measure our ongoing
compliance.
There's the Moodle Accessibility
Specification (under development) that the OU is leading on - http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_Accessibility_Specification :
we can try to use that or elements of it, but it doesn't seem to
have been updated for some while now, and nor does it seem to have the benefits
of simplicity.
There's the W3C's own HTML markup checker -
http://validator.w3.org/ - and the
validator which I note moodle.org refers itself to, which gives an instant
compliance report.
Any other standards, tools or validators any
of you are using or can recommend?
Anyone
know if there's convergence on standards other large
websites can point to?
Regards, Tony
