Part of the HEAT3 project will be to ensure that Moodle can be accessed by a range of technologies. This is because over time more lectures are using Moodle directly in their lectures. The approach that we plan to adopt is to test that the most popular moodle activities work with a range of assistive technologies and devices. Over time we will enhance the expereince through making changes within the style sheet(s) within our primary Moodle themes. If changes can not be made then we’ll advise users about the issues of accessing certain activities.

The first stage is to identify which are the most common activities. This will inform us where to place the initial effort. Based on the Module Activity data through the administrators Moodle interface, the top 7 activities are;

  1. Resources (68.2%)
  2. Label (13.6%)
  3. Forum (10.0%)
  4. Quiz (2.7%)
  5. Assignment (2.2%)
  6. Wiki (0.9%)
  7. Personal Journal (0.6%)
