More specifically, the use of e-learning systems provides for students more freedom to learn through Internet when and where they prefer in each moment. However, e-learning tools are not perfect tools. Most of these e-learning tools present accessibility barriers, so not all students are able to use them completely in their studies. The goal of this paper is to evaluate if Moodle e-learning web tool is accessible for visually impaired people using assistive technologies like screen readers. The evaluation has been divided in two main objectives: first, to evaluate Moodle from a user perspective, simulating the interaction of a blind student with the system and using a screen reader; second, to evaluate Moodle from an accessibility expert perspective, analysing if Moodle is in accordance to ATAG and WCAG W3C guidelines.10application/pdfengAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaAccessibility Issues and TechnologyWeb Information Systems and TechnologiesWeb Interfaces and ApplicationsVisual impairmentScreen readerconference paperInformáticaopen access221228CC/0000018291
