I know that there was a thread in the Mahara forum started in 2008 regarding the use of a Screen Reader, such as JAWS for windows.  I would like to inquire if any additional work has been done in the area or if any plans are in place to address Accessibility requirements in upcoming releases. 

Thanks in advance or any infomration that you can provide.

Hello Doug,

There was a post on the bug tracker last year https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/750301 pointing out some issues. A few have been resolved.

If you are using a screen reader or other tools on a regular basis and could provide insight into what could be improved that would be much appreciated. The best version to test with would be a Mahara 1.5, currently available as release candidate at https://launchpad.net/mahara/1.5 . You could also head over to http://master.dev.mahara.org and test the latest code.

Cheers

Kristina
