Accessibility

At its core, accessibility focuses on increasing access to learning experiences (e.g., activities and resources in a subject site) and improving navigation. Accessible learning experiences have the potential to benefit all students.

A universally accepted set of standards, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, also commonly known by their abbreviation WCAG, are available to measure the accessibility of online content.

Inclusive design

In support of UOWs Accessibility Action Plan, a collection of resources on Inclusive design is available.

When a learning experience has been designed inclusively it is inherently accessible. Inclusive design provides simple strategies to go beyond compliance with standards and cater for the full range of human diversity.

The Inclusive design collection includes articles that expand on the definition and purpose of inclusion in online content and experiences as well as provide practical guidance on designing inclusive experiences.
