Accessibility Statement for LearnWise

LearnWise is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and strive to apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as our accessibility standard.

Measures to Support Accessibility

LearnWise takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:

Include accessibility throughout our design and development processes.
Provide training to our staff on accessibility best practices.
Regularly audit our website to identify and address accessibility issues.
Use inclusive language in all our content.
Employ assistive technology testing, including screen readers and keyboard navigation.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. LearnWise is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Keyboard Navigation: The website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure content, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret and present information to users.
Clear and Consistent Navigation: The website has a clear and consistent navigation structure, enabling users to easily find the information they need.
Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on the website without losing content or functionality.
Forms Accessibility: All forms are designed to be accessible, with clear labels and instructions, and are compatible with assistive technologies.
Video Captions and Transcripts: Videos include captions and transcripts, making them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
