Moodle block to check PDFs for accessibility and quality.

This Moodle block consists of two main functions:

• A scheduled task that looks for PDFs within courses, sends them to an external server to check for accessibilty, and saves the results to the Moodle database
• A Moodle block that displays the accessibility status of the PDF files within the course. On the Moodle course page, the block displays a summary with a link to a detailed view with all the files in the course.

This Moodle plugin requires a separate server to process files: [https://github.com/Swarthmore/filescan-server]

• Clone or download this repository into the <moodle root>/blocks directory
• Rename the directory from block-filescan to filescan
• Log into Moodle as an admin and update Moodle to add the block

This plugin configuration requires a URL for the File Scan Server.

By default, the scheduled task is set to scan an additional set of files every 5 minutes. This can be adjusted in the Server --> Scheduled Tasks screen.
