Owlia Reasonable Adaptations

v1.2.0Stable AIMoodle 4.5 – 5.3

Accessible, printable versions of quiz questions and worksheets.

Reasonable Adaptations is a course block for instructors that produces accessible versions of quiz questions and worksheets. Open any quiz of the course, or upload a worksheet and let the AI extract its questions, then ask for adapted wordings — simpler language, shorter, more concrete, multiple choice, yes/no, inline definitions or scaffolding — and keyword highlights.

The instructor reviews, edits and accepts every suggestion, then exports a printable Word (and optionally PDF) document with a choice of dyslexia-friendly fonts, font size, line spacing and questions per page. Learners never use the block; they receive the adapted document.

The value for learners and instructors

Where this plugin genuinely supports learning — and where it does not.

Accessibility & UDL

Core

Simplified wording, inline definitions, scaffolding, keyword highlighting and dyslexia-friendly layout support learners with dyslexia, language difficulties or high cognitive load.

Instructor workload

Core

Adapted versions of each question are suggested by the AI, so the instructor reviews and edits rather than rewriting from scratch, and accepts every change.

What it does not do

The output is a printed or downloaded document: learners taking the Moodle quiz online get no adaptation. Converting to multiple choice or yes/no can lower what is assessed — a judgement the instructor must make. There are no per-learner profiles or records of who received which version.
