Re: Question about LMS products

Hi Lisa,
You might want to take a look at ATutor.

One of its primary goals from its start on 2000, has been to model 
accessibility in an LMS. It came about after two research projects that 
found a lack of accessibility in the popular LMS at the time. Many of 
the other LMS are catching up in terms of accessibility, though I'd say 
ATutor still leads the way.

I have found a few really good resources that talk about LMS products and accessibility, but most are from 2008-2013 and in this field things change quickly.

I was wondering if any of you use products that are good right out of the box? Or use products that you have been able to customize for people, no matter their ability?
