Designing your Moodle space with accessibility in mind benefits everyone.

The language you use has a profound impact on how easily your participants understand your materials. Use simple language and formatting, where you can.

• Write in short, simple and clear sentences and paragraphs.
• Avoid using unnecessarily complex words and phrases.
• Consider providing a glossary of terms readers may not know.
• Expand acronyms on first use. For example, "The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is".
• Formatting text as bullet point or numbered lists, as appropriate.
• Consider using images, illustrations, video, audio, and symbols to help clarify meaning.
• Use strong verbs (doing/action) rather than noun phrases.

The Hemingway App highlights lengthy, complex sentences and common errors, helping you to create more accessible content.
