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
