whatisaccessibilityWhat is Web Accessibility and How Does that Relate to Sakai?

Web Accessibility refers to the usability of a website by people of all abilities. Accessibility can be viewed as one's "ability to access" content and often focuses on individuals with disabilities who use assistive technology. Those with disabilities may include, but are not limited to, persons who are blind or visually impaired, hearing impaired or deaf, have limited dexterity, or have learning or cognitive disabilities. Assistive technology includes any piece of equipment, product or system that is used to improve the functional capacities of people with disabilities. Keyboards, screen readers, and screen magnifiers are commonly used forms of assistive technology.

Many educational institutions have legal requirements or administrative policies in place to make sure the information technologies they produce or purchase have accessible interfaces. Requirements for accessibility vary, but the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are becoming increasingly adopted in laws and policies by many governments and educational institutions.

How an interface such as Sakai interacts and behaves depends on the way in which it is coded and how it interacts with a web browser. If, during the creation of a user interface, it was not designed to be accessible and tested for accessibility, it is probably not accessible and some users may not be able to access information or perform necessary functions.
