In addition, our Moodle environment features Brickfield Education Labs file conversion software, which provides ADA compliant formats of various course materials. Students should click the Brickfield file conversion icon () on convertible resources such as files (e.g. Word documents, PowerPoints, PDFs, etc.) and Moodle Book and Page activities. Then, choose the conversion type you would like the file to be converted into (i.e., text, audio, Ebook, or electronic braille) and the specific format you would like. Click "Request," and wait to receive an email with a download link to the converted file. The email will be sent to your student email account and will come from the address noreply@mrooms.net. Conversions can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours or more depending upon how busy the Moodle site is. If you receive an email back with a message stating the file could not be converted, contact the Distance Learning Department at 252-862-1242 or online@roanokechowan.edu for assistance.
