Brickfield Enable

Need help identifying accessibility challenges in your Moodle course?

Brickfield Enable is a suite of tools designed to help instructors and Moodle course editors create more accessible Moodle content and find and fix common accessibility issues in existing content. Brickfield Enable:

  • Identifies and suggests fixes for accessibility issues within Moodle’s text editor.
  • Provides a report on the accessibility of activities and resources that have been authored within the Moodle text editors (NC State books, pages, activity descriptions, labels, topic headings, the question bank, etc.).
  • Provides “wizards” to help fix some accessibility errors.
  • Groups errors by content type: images, layout, links, media, table and text.


“Brickfield makes creating an accessible class Moodle site less daunting. The list of accessibility issues it creates is easy to sort through and address. Using Brickfield created a better student experience and gave me the reassurance that I was addressing Moodle accessibility in a comprehensive way.”

How do instructors use Brickfield Enable?

Detailed instructions for using Brickfield Enable can be found in the Brickfield Enable (formerly Brickfield Accessibility+ Toolkit) User Guide.

Click the accessibility icon in the toolbar of the text editor in Moodle to identify and easily remedy accessibility errors in Moodle content before you save it.

To run an accessibility report and use Brickfield Enable wizards, access the tool by clicking “More” in the horizontal “Course Menu.” Note that some errors will require manual fixes; refer to the Brickfield Enable (formerly Brickfield Accessibility+ Toolkit) User Guide for details.

If you are looking for more specific information about accessing Brickfield Enable, please refer to the Knowledge Base article, “Overview of Brickfield Enable.”

“Brickfield helped us quickly learn how accessible our course site and resources are. As you teach a course and share resources and updates, it is easy to lose track of what accessibility checks you have performed. The Brickfield report is comprehensive and helped us identify issues, fix them, and maintain the site we wanted!”
