Digital Accessibility Conformance Evaluation

A technical evaluation of 20 pages was conducted. The pages selected constitute an accessibility audit of the website. These pages were selected by Web Key IT and agreed on by the client as representative of the overall accessibility and functionality of the website.

The evaluation was completed in accordance with the WCAG Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) which can be viewed at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/.

The pages were audited manually and cross-checked using a team of website evaluators to ensure that the results and comments presented are valid and comprehensive.

Remaining Issues and Exceptions

Whilst Moodle Australia has gone to great lengths to make all of its online content AA accessible, there are some aspects on this website, including some third-party content, which Moodle do not currently have the ability to bring into conformance with WCAG 2.1 to Level AA. 

These include: 

  • The user tour created issues when CSS was disabled, because of this user tours are prevented from displaying at all if CSS is disabled when the page is loaded. 
  • Orphaned form labels and broken ARIA references related to a bug in the HTML generated by a third-party library
