Accessibility Statement
ArcLero is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to our learning management platform.
Our Commitment in Practice
ArcLero takes the following measures to ensure the accessibility of the ArcLero LMS platform:
- Include accessibility as a core requirement in our product development lifecycle
- Integrate accessibility considerations into our procurement and third-party component selection
- Conduct quarterly accessibility audits against WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria
- Perform manual testing with screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver) and keyboard-only navigation
- Supplement manual testing with automated accessibility scanning tools
- Prioritize remediation of user-reported accessibility issues
WCAG 2.1 Level AA — Partially Conformant
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. WCAG defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
ArcLero LMS is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working toward full conformance.
The platform is designed to support the Revised Section 508 Standards, which incorporate WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA success criteria by reference for web content.
