[LON-CAPA-admin] Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA Compliance

[Omernik, Paul]

Good afternoon,

>From this website: https://verbit.ai/education-elearning/ada-title-ii-update-mandates-digital-accessibility-for-colleges-and-universities-by-2026/

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) earlier this summer announced its final rule revising Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), requiring web and mobile application content to be accessible to people with disabilities.

Title II of the ADA applies to all state and local governments, which includes, among other entities, public schools, community colleges and public universities.

The rule, designed to ensure all digital services are ADA-compliant, clarifies the obligations of public education institutions to make their websites and mobile apps "readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities[...]"

I guess I'm not entirely sure how or what to ask, so I will start with: Will the XML that produces our problems on LON-CAPA be able to be made Title II compliant?

Is it possible to 'caption' a problem so a complex equation can be read by a screen reader? (Alt text?) The same for images of free-body diagrams or circuits, what have you?

Thank you,

Paul
