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:
