The Moodle Accessibility Tool is back!

By Kerry, on 12 June 2025

The Moodle Accessibility Tool has been restored to UCL Moodle. We were aware that some people missed it and were not comfortable with using free browser extensions, so decided to revisit it for our latest version of Moodle.

To access the tool, simply go to your Moodle profile and choose “Accessibility Tool” from the drop-down menu.

You will then be given options to personalise your colour scheme, font style, text size and readability of UCL Moodle. The readability features also include the option to add more space between lines. Your preferences are saved to your Moodle profile so you don’t have to reset these every time you log in.

To access more information on the Moodle accessibility tool, please access the tool and read the guidance below.

The advantage of using free browser extensions instead of the Moodle accessiblity tool is that your settings will be available across your whole browsing experience and not just for Moodle so it is worth considering these in general. For more advice on browser and other free inbuilt accessibility tools, please see our accessibility statement.
