Forum .LRN Q&A: Accessibility and usability reports (dotLRN 2.3.0)

Hi all,

In the scope of the ALPE project [1] at UNED, an audit has been done by TENUTA [2] regarding accessibility and usability of dotLRN. Resulting reports can be downloaded from:

- TENUTA Accessibility report
- TENUTA Usability report

Note that this work has been done on dotLRN 2.3.0beta so some of the issues they found have been already resolved.

The overall result is very positive. Per their words: “The major finding is that on both usability and accessibility the site seems to do very well, so many of the factors we have found are reasonably minor.”
