Criteria

Conformance Level

Remarks and Explanations

302.1 Without Vision

Web: Does Not Support

Web: Some functions of course participation, such as navigation from the home page and reading a course catalog, can be performed with few problems by users without vision. However, some required steps in course participation are not usable by people without vision, impeding access to most course content. Examples include:

  • Most functions of the product contain icons which lack a text alternative. 
  • It is difficult to locate content in dialogs, including learning content, because focus is not constrained inside of dialogs.

302.2 With Limited Vision

Web: Does Not Support

Web: Most functions of the product are not usable by people with limited vision. Examples include:

  • When the browser is zoomed to 200%, the main menu is not visible. This prevents access to most functions of the product. 
  • Text has insufficient color contrast. 
  • Elements are not visible in Windows High Contrast Mode, such as the Close icon in Learning Content, checkboxes in catalog filters, and the Profile menu icon.

Supporting users with limited cognitive abilities, the product provides labels and instructions for most user input and does not use language that is more complex than necessary. Exceptions include:

  • The language of the web page is not programmatically determined, which can interfere with text-to-speech for users with limited language ability.
  • The learning module Notes field relies on placeholder text as a label, which does not remain visible.
