Browsealoud makes using the Internet easier for people who have: * Low literacy and reading skills * English as a second language * Dyslexia * Mild visual impairments Browsealoud is _not_ a replacement for a screen reader, but is convenient for some classes of users.

A good article about a transition from an in-house LMS to Moodle. Though the environment is somewhat different, lessons learned about the process are relevant to us.
