accessible forms generation tool

There are a number of elearning course content conversion tools which
convert
Word documents into HTML.
Some of the tools convert specially structured tables in Word into
fairly accessible
HTML forms, for example YAWC Online (our product - www.yawconline.com),
and courseGenie (www.horizonwimba.com).

Where you put the HTML pages after they are created is up to the author.

However, the background processing of the forms is a different matter.
It must still be developed in some non-generic way, I think.
Forms generated with elearning tools generally are self-assessments, where
the answers are displayed using embedded JavaScript, or are intended for
use in
SCORM-conformant VLEs/LMSs such as Moodle, Blackboard, etc.
