[nabs-l] Moodle Accessibility

[Marvin Hunkin]

hi.
using jaws 12.0.1170 and jaws 13.0.241.
and doing a online diploma in website development from 
http://wsi.tafensw.edu.au, and they use http://wwwmoodle.org
which is not very accessible with jaws.
i have e-mailed support at  support at moodle.org about that jaws 12 and 
13, in firefox, does not read some of the content after a while, and 
just says blank.
and it has javascript, or java submenus, and jaws gets stuck on that.
firefox 7.0, was really bad, and after a while had to try internet 
explorer 9.
and it read the content a little better, but a couple of times, got 
stuck on the submenu.
so, maybe if everyone wrote to http://www.moodle.org, might be able to 
get some real progress about this.
has any one else used moodle, with a screen reader, and their 
experiences, good, bad, the ugly.
and at the moment, the lecturers have to rewrite their content, and send 
it to me via e-mail.
so in three months, have only completed three subjects.
which is a slow and timely process.
they also have other online students, face to face, and i have tried to 
ask them, and they said that moodle, is making changes to their 
e-learning platform, but could take a few months.
and when i was able to login.
a lot of broken links, enrollment keys, to login, and a combo box, when 
i was in the right area, no keyboard shortcuts, and some combo box 
items, just said item 3, or what ever.
this is really, really annoying.
so my question is.
for a large institution, how easy is to fix accessibility,  of education 
institutions, to hand create the e-learning pages, and then put 
accessibility into these pages?
and if there are any other more easier and more accessible e-learning 
systems, what are they, and how complex, or simple for a large 
institution, to move their content to this new platform.
any feedback, suggestions, or where i go from here.
want to use the e-learning platform, but a real challenge for a student 
with a dsiaiblity, of mine, bieng blind and using a screen reader.
i did test with nvda, and got similar results in internet explorer 9, 
firefox 7.0.
