With the rapid advance of E-Learning in the work place as well as the
school, everybody is on the bandwagon to push the latest and greatest
E-Learning software, but there is one thing that should be kept in mind
just because a software product meets VPAT requirements does not mean
that it will produce a accessible and compliant E-Learning course.
Most of the modules I have seen so far appear to be created from
PowerPoint and translated into a more web-capable format. Unfortunately,
it seems that people are being misled to believe that anything created
through course development software is accessible, which is not correct.
Most E-Learning software will meet certain parts of Section 508
compliance but as far as producing 100% compliant courses that is
something that the developer of the online E-learning course is
responsible for.

Moodle.

Also realize that you need to provide training to the users to make sure
they understand the need for accessibility and that all documents (word
processor, spreadsheets, presentational and audio-visual media) need to
also
be accessible.

Hi everyone,



I am looking for a SCORM compliant e-learning software and authoring
tool
that is accessible. Ideally, both the authoring tools and the courses
they
produce should be accessible. Does anyone have any suggestions?



Thanks in advance,

~Sam
