Why is digital accessibility important?
As a not-for-profit organization, governments require that digital experiences such as eTrainings, eCourses, websites, and LMSs be accessible for a variety of learners. Not only is it the right thing to do - making sure that persons with physical and cognitive impairments are able to use your services - but if you are receiving public funding then you will need to be compliant with all accessibility laws.
Is your organization accessibility compliant?
To meet accessibility standards, your digital services should be usable by those with sensory, cognitive, and physical impairments. Here are some common examples of how companies fail on this:
Mouse-Only Navigation
Your website has a navigation menu that cannot be accessed using a keyboard. This makes it difficult or impossible for users with mobility impairments to navigate.
Lack of Alt Text
Images on your eLearning platform or website lack alternative text descriptions. This prevents users who rely on screen readers from understanding the content.
Insufficient Color Contrast
There is text on your site with poor contrast against its background. This makes it hard for users with visual impairments to read the content.
No Captions for Videos
Your educational videos lack closed captions or transcripts. This excludes individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing from accessing the information.
Broken Links
Some links and buttons are not set up correctly or are not clearly labeled. This creates barriers for users who rely on assistive technologies.
Dynamic content without updates
You have form validation messages or error notifications that aren't set up to notify assistive technologies. This leaves users unaware of changes.
