Currently , talking about accessible educational institutions also means talking about the virtual world : much of the information, publication of grades, renovations in libraries, and various other activities of a school or college have been carried out through their official websites. That's why it's so important that they are accessible. After all, everyone should be able to obtain this information equally, right?
For you to be inspired and see a great example, let's talk about one of the best and most highly regarded universities in the world , Harvard. The attitude taken by the institution's administration regarding digital accessibility is really interesting for you to know and guide yourself!
Harvard websites have always followed some of the most cell phone number list basic accessibility standards , such as the presence of subtitles in institutional videos, suitable code for navigation using screen readers, and alternative texts for images.
But now, the university has decided to go further and adapt all of its websites and electronic domains to the highest and most recent accessibility standards, which are present in the WCAG 2.1 document . Additionally, the institution decided to provide internal training for its entire information technology team to learn about accessibility best practices. And to evaluate all of this, a committee was created, which will ensure the maintenance of these new policies through periodic analyses.
The institution's spokesman, John Silvanus Wilson, said that “bringing improvements to digital accessibility means ensuring that all students have access to the college's administrative and academic resources”. Examples like this are very important, considering that the lack of accessibility on the web is huge, and there is a lack of knowledge regarding the topic. Seeing a reference educational institution like Harvard raising this flag only brings good prospects for the dissemination of digital accessibility.
