G-W is dedicated to creating accessible learning experiences for all users. We conduct extensive accessibility testing, both internally and with third-party experts, to ensure our products meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards and support successful learning for everyone.
G-W Services, including Online Textbooks, Online Learning Suite, Online Instructor Resources, and G-W EduHub LMS-Ready Content, integrates key universal design principles to enhance accessibility and inclusivity for all users. Key features include:
- Keyboard Accessibility: G-W Online Textbooks is keyboard accessible, allowing users to navigate and interact with content without requiring a mouse. Interactive elements can be accessed using standard keyboard controls, supporting an accessible and efficient user experience.
- Audio Accessibility: Learning resources are compatible with screen readers, allowing users to access and navigate content using assistive technology. Text, headings, links and other accessible elements are structured to support a clear and effective reading experience.
- Image Descriptions: All images used contain alt text attributes. This helps ensure that important visual content is accessible and understandable for all users.
- Transcripts and Closed Captions: Video and audio content include transcripts and closed captions, allowing users to review content in text format or access information in an alternative modality.
- Color Contrast: G-W Online Textbook resources use sufficient color contrast between text and background elements to improve readability for all users, including those with low vision or color vision differences. This helps ensure that content is clear, legible, and accessible across a variety of viewing abilities.
- ARIA Labels: G-W Online Textbook resources use ARIA labels where needed to provide accessible names for interactive elements that may not have visible text. This helps assistive technologies, such as screen readers, accurately identify and communicate the purpose of controls to users.
- Error Identification: Resources clearly identify input errors and provide guidance to help users correct them. Error messages are presented in a way that supports accessibility and enables users to successfully complete interactive tasks.
