Question 1

What is accessibility?

Accepted Answer

To be accessible means to remove barriers for people with disabilities. In order to make a web page or digital content accessible, it means making sure that the content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. Accessible content is as consistent and equally available as non-accessible content. Users of QuaverEd curricula can identify content using their senses, access controls, buttons, navigation, and other interactive elements; comprehend our content; and use our content on many different devices (PC, Mac, Chromebook, mobile device, and more).
