The Client
The client is a prestigious institution committed to providing equal access to its educational opportunities for students with disabilities.
The Challenge
The client sought the expertise of Magic Edtech to audit and remediate their courseware, microlessons, and web resources. They needed to be compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. They faced challenges in identifying and addressing accessibility issues due to the lack of in-house expertise in WCAG compliance and limited resources for testing with actual users with disabilities. They needed a trusted accessibility services provider who could conduct a comprehensive audit and remediate their digital content to meet the stringent WCAG 2.1 standards.
Critical Success Factors
- The content must be reviewed by CPACC and WAS certified experts. It must also be tested by People with Disabilities (PWD).
- Complete the project in three months, including one month for audit completion and two months for remediation.
- Conduct the audit using screen reading environments such as JAWS, ChromeVox, and VoiceOver.
Our Approach
- The University engaged Magic EdTech to address their accessibility needs.
- Our team of CPACC-certified experts conducted a thorough audit of the University’s courseware, microlessons, and web resources using screen reading environments such as JAWS, ChromeVox, and VoiceOver.
- The audit identified various accessibility issues, including improper heading structure, missing alternative text for images, lack of keyboard accessibility, and insufficient color contrast.
- After the audit, Magic Edtech collaborated closely with the University’s Office of Disability Services to develop a comprehensive remediation plan.
- We used our experience and knowledge of accessibility best practices to implement the required changes, including reformatting documents, adding alternative text to images, improving keyboard accessibility, and enhancing color contrast.
- To ensure the quality and effectiveness of the remediation, we engaged actual users with disabilities during the testing phase. This included individuals with visual impairments, motor disabilities, and cognitive disabilities.
- The feedback from these users was invaluable in refining the accessibility of the courseware, microlessons, and web resources.
