I have been using Moodle off and on as an administrator. Norm is right;
Moodle seems to be the more accessible. I have not encountered any serious
issues as an administrator. I have only worked with the 1.9 version.

Subject: Re: more acessible e-learning patforms for blind students
I have used Blackboard and Moodle. I find Moodle the better one. I have
only used it as a student and not as an administrator.
