Can you tell us about your company and how you help your clients?
Brickfield Education Labs: At Brickfield we are passionate about accessibility. We work with institutions providing technology and training to improve the accessibility of online training courses.
Brickfield Education Labs offers a comprehensive Accessibility Toolkit for Moodle to improve the accessibility of your Moodle course content. The Toolkit finds, fixes and futureproof’s client content on Moodle courses, through automating the process of accessibility auditing and remediation of course content.
Have you been to a MoodleMoot before? What were your impressions?
Brickfield Education Labs: Our team has been involved in MoodleMoots for over 15 years across the globe. Most recently we have taken part in MoodleMoots in the USA, France, Spain, Netherlands and UK/Ireland. We love the community sharing, and collaboration on all things Moodle and especially on accessibility.
Five of our team will be in Barcelona for the GlobalMoot 2023.
How long has your company been working with Moodle?
Brickfield Education Labs: Our Management Team has been working with Moodle for over 20 years, however Brickfield has been working with Moodle HQ since the beginning when we developed our Toolkit and built a version of it that is part of Moodle core and Moodle Workplace.
Do you have any great examples of how using Moodle has benefitted one of your clients?
Brickfield Education Labs: All our clients use Moodle in some way, be it for delivering blended learning at Community Colleges, Further Education or Higher Education or for corporate or government organisations delivering online onboarding and training courses for their staff.
What recent work or project would you like to highlight?
Brickfield Education Labs: Recently we worked with one College, where we audited a number of their courses for technical and content accessibility issues. This was used to create a new course template to ensure that the course structures, the guidance and the content were accessible and usable by all. We are in the process of developing case studies so keep an eye out on our website.
What are you most looking forward to at the global MoodleMoot in 2023?
Brickfield Education Labs: We are delivering three presentations at Moodlemoot, two on accessibility and one case study of a client’s rollout of the Toolkit, what they did, how they used it and what the benefits were!
