Accessibility
Every physician should be able to use EdPortus, whatever device, browser or assistive technology they rely on.
Our target
We aim for every page of edportus.com, learn.edportus.com and the installable app to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA.
How we check
- Automated browser tests run on every change: every control and link has a name, headings are in order, every page can be used with the keyboard alone and shows where focus is, and links inside text are underlined and have enough contrast.
- Each screen is checked at phone, tablet and desktop widths, in light and dark mode.
- Text and button colors are tested against their backgrounds for at least 4.5:1 contrast.
- Course clips come with captions and a transcript, and animations stop when your device asks for reduced motion.
Known limitations
These are the gaps we know about. We are working on them.
- When a form is sent back with an error, the message names the field, but the field itself is not yet marked as invalid for screen readers.
- We have not yet completed a full review with a screen reader (VoiceOver, NVDA or JAWS), or a check of every page at 400% zoom.
- PDF downloads (certificates, transcripts and packets) are not yet tagged for screen readers. The same information is on the matching page of your account.
- Community videos are posted by physicians and do not yet carry captions.
- Videos embedded from YouTube or Vimeo use those companies’ own players and controls.
