Hi Marvin, Thanks for your post. I'm interested in reading the other replies. I would have thought that accessibility was a priority for Moodle. It is widely used now. Certainly a matter of relevance for persons considering whether to use it as their LMS.

This has little to do with the software and more to do with how the Tafe has designed the template to interact with the software. Moodle is just like any other Content Management System in that you can configure templates to work with it. You will need to log a ticket with the IT Services department at the tafe.
