==Notes==

*This accessibility conformance report is based on an audit of Moodle LMS by [https://www.grackledocs.com/ GrackleDocs (formerly AbleDocs)], Moodle HQ’s external digital accessibility consultant, as well as internal testing and community audits.
*AbleDocs issued a [https://tracker.moodle.org/secure/attachment/147694/147694_Moodle+Statement+of+Conformance+2024.pdf Statement of Accessibility Conformance] for '''WCAG 2.1 Level AA''' in '''Jan 2024'''.
*AbleDocs performed the accessibility audit on Moodle 4.2. All issues identified during the audit have been rectified in all supported versions of Moodle.
*Only WCAG 2.2 items were assessed internally by Moodle due to the timing of the WCAG 2.2 standard's (Nov 2023) release and the external audit commencing (July 2023). All assessments against the WCAG 2.2 criteria are internal assessments only done in good faith. Moodle will be audited against WCAG 2.2 in the next cycle.

== Evaluation methods used ==
This conformance report is based on an accessibility audit conducted by AbleDocs on Moodle LMS. The evaluation was completed following the [http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/ WCAG Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM)]. The audit testing was conducted manually and cross-checked using AbleDocs' team of accessibility auditors to ensure that the results and comments presented were valid and comprehensive. 

Separate external testing of Moodle LMS has also been conducted by a group of trained testers with accessibility needs to increase the coverage of the system.

The following tools and applications were used as part of the audit:    
*Desktop browsers 
**Google Chrome
**Firefox
*Screen reader
**JAWS
**NVDA
*Other tools
** WAVE
**NU HTML Validator
==Applicable standards and guidelines ==
