A message to colleagues of mine I have just posted

Hi! Sooner or later, we might find out that we need to go back to some Distance Learning. It is important then that we become aware of the importance of Web Accessibility, which does not mean just Text-to-Speech. Accessibility is about people: people who are blind or have problems seeing pages (color blind, can't see some backgrounds need alternative text on images and the like) on the Internet; people who are deaf or have hearing problems; people who are blind and deaf; people who have cognitive problems, problems decoding (Dyslexia) and more... And then we have "normal people" (whatever that is), that need support just like they do in the classroom. Zoom alone is not an option for them. It is definitely one option to be used with something else: A Learning Management System. The Ministry of Education gives teachers one very good LMS for free (as many platforms as you need). It's Moodle.  It "takes care " of Accessibility issues (it's a must). And the one for us, teachers of English, provides a screen reader, which the Hebrew one does not (and that is BAD). Moodle Mashov will take care of Accessibility on Moodle, too So even though I speak of Moodle, I am talking about people. We have the summer to get ready for the possibility that we might need to use an LMS for more than Blended Learning. Give yourself some time and learn Moodle. You will help people (Incidentally, I am not the owner of Moodle and/or have shares in Moodle... My pupils seem to think that that is so.) Best wishes.
