+<h1>Accessibility</h1>
+
+<h2>Accessibility Statement</h2>
+
+<p>This site has been tested in a range of browsers and with screen reader software.</p>
+
+<p>Moodle uses semantic markup to assist screen reader users among others — site, page
+ and block headings use <h1>, <h2>, navigation blocks are lists <ul> and so on.
+</p>
+
+<p>Moodle complies with the World Wide Web Consortium's [<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/" title="Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0">Web
+ Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0</a>] level 1, most of level 2
+ [<a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG1AA-Conformance" title="About Double-A WCAG conformance">about Double-A conformance</a>]
+ and some level 3. Through these guidelines we aim to comply with local laws regarding access to those with disabilities.
+ We are currently working to improve the accessibility and usability of Moodle.
+ At present there are still some tables used for layout, but in general presentation (using style sheets) is separated from content.
+</p>
+
+<p>We welcome feedback, particularly reports of any inaccessible content. Please contact us via
+ [<a href="./message/discussion.php?id=2">Message to admin</a>]
+ [<a href="mailto:webmaster@MYSITE.EDU" title="Email us">webmaster@MYSITE.EDU</a>]
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>Access keys</h2>
+
+<p>At present we don't specify access keys, but we intend implementing them for a future release of Moodle.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Links</h2>
+
+<p>Many links have title attributes
+that describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already
+fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article). If a link has
+an access key this will be announced in the link title.</p>
+
+<p>Whenever possible, links are written to make sense out of context.</p>
+
+<p>There are no javascript: pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any
+ browser, even if scripting is turned off. There are no links that open
+ new windows without warning.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Images</h2>
+
+<p>All images use the alt attribute to
+provide alternate text where appropriate; images that are purely decorative
+contain a null alt attribute. Images, such as maps, that present complex
+information have a longdesc attribute linking them to a text description of the
+image content. When a page is viewed using the simplified layout the content of
+this description page is displayed along with the image it describes.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Standards compliance</h2>
+
+<p>This site is built using valid
+ <acronym title="Extensible Hyper-Text Markup Language">XHTML</acronym>
+ for markup and uses CSS for presentation. All XHTML pages are served using
+ the application/xhtml+xml MIME type to browsers that accept it - this helps us
+ ensure that the content on all pages remains well-formed.</p>
