Our colleagues at the Regional Support Centre, Eastern have developed an open source tool called Maxos.
Maxos is combination of Xerte and Moodle which can be run from a USB drive. Xerte is an open source tool for creating accessible and inclusive learning objects and Moodle is an open source virtual learning environment (VLE). Becuase Maxos runs from a USB drive it allows learners to access learning content where and when they choose to do so.
The designers of Xerte at the University of Nottingham have worked very closely with JISC TechDis to ensure that the objects include a full range of accessibility features, allowing font sizes, colours and contrast to be adjustable by the user as well as providing audio support for those with impaired vision.
