Accessibility Statement for NovaLearn

NovaLearn is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users.

Our Commitment

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which outlines four main principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. These guidelines provide the foundation for making web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

Measures to Support Accessibility

NovaLearn takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:

Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content, providing clear meaning and structure for assistive technologies.
ARIA Attributes: We implement ARIA attributes where necessary to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements.
Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard, ensuring users who cannot use a mouse can access all content and functionality.
Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to meet WCAG guidelines, making our content easier to read for users with visual impairments.
Alternative Text: All images and non-text content include descriptive alternative text (alt text) to convey their meaning to users who cannot see them.
Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices to provide an optimal viewing experience for all users.
Clear and Consistent Navigation: We provide clear and consistent navigation throughout our website, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
Forms Accessibility: Our forms are designed with accessibility in mind, including proper labels, instructions, and error handling to ensure users can complete them successfully.
Video Accessibility: We strive to provide captions and transcripts for our video content, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Specific Accessibility Features

Here are some specific accessibility features implemented on NovaLearn:

Skip Navigation Link: A "Skip to main content" link is provided at the top of each page to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation elements.
Focus Indicators: Clear focus indicators are provided for keyboard navigation, allowing users to easily see which element is currently selected.
Adjustable Text Size: Users can adjust the text size in their browser settings to make our content easier to read.
Dark Mode: A dark mode option is available to reduce eye strain and improve readability in low-light conditions. This can be toggled using the "Toggle Dark Mode" button in the top right corner.
