CognaLearn | Accessibility Statement


In line with InteDashboard’s values of Purpose-driven, Collaborative, Innovative, Learning, Versatility, and Integrity:

We recognise that diversity is the heart of every team, and that every member should be respected.
We aim to empower users by removing barriers to access learning, and ensuring inclusivity for all users to learn and contribute, regardless of ability.
We design with accessibility in mind, and work towards attaining the highest possible compliance to international standards such as WCAG 2.1, Section 508 and EN 301 549, so as to minimize exclusion and improve outcomes for all.
We will review feedback and evaluate our product to ensure continued adherence to guidelines, and are committed to making accessibility a priority at CognaLearn.

 

Measures to Support Accessibility

CognaLearn takes the following steps in our accessibility journey

● Ensure product development alignment to WCAG 2.1 A/AA standards and usability considerations
● Product's accessibility status is evaluated and reviewed regularly
● Accessibility goals and responsibilities are clearly assigned
● Product Team is knowledgeable in web accessibility principles
● Include accessibility in company’s mission
● Charted accessibility roadmap for continued adherence



Conformance Status

InteDashboard is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 Level A/AA.
The criteria for Level AAA have not been evaluated.

Accessibility Limitations

We are aware and are making conscious efforts to improve.
The content listed below are non-accessible for the following reasons.

● While keyboard navigation is mostly available, tab focus sequence is not fully intuitive or visible in some sections.
● Some missing or incorrect screen reader button labels exist. 
● Page headers may not follow ideal hierarchy. 
● Bypass links are not currently supported.
● Some isolated components may not pass ideal colour contrast standards. 

We are rectifying these issues progressively and aim to be fully compliant in later releases.

In addition, our Help Guides and Website are progressively making changes to ensure that all users are able to access and benefit from our content.

As InteDashboard is an authoring software, Instructor users have the ability to upload their own content. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the content they generate is accessible.

Feedback

We are working hard in our journey to full WCAG compliance.
We welcome feedback on accessibility matters in relation to InteDashboard. Do let us know if you have suggestions or encounter accessibility barriers.
You can reach us at support@intedashboard.com.
We will try to respond to feedback within 3 business days.

Where possible, most form elements and controls have been programmatically grouped and labelled. 
We use nested HTML lists to describe parent/child relationships between information such as courses > modules > activities.

However we have not yet been able to implement page landmarks. 

Heading tags are used but some pages lack proper hierarchy. We are progressively revamping the current header hierarchy in pages.

Due to the use of layout tables for content, not all tables have proper table markup or captions. 
 
We aim to use best practices for layout in later releases of the learner app.
