Make eLearning accessible for everyone
Learning is easier when it’s accessible
Any L&D team serious about delivering the best possible learning experiences should be serious about accessible eLearning. When online training is designed with accessibility in mind, it becomes more effective for a wide range of learners, many without any defined disability.
Whether you’re pursuing accessible eLearning to enhance L&D, respond to a corporate diversity and inclusion commitment, or comply with a legal requirement, RWS eLearning accessibility services will help you make learning better for everyone.
Why choose RWS for eLearning accessibility?
Accessibility in any language
If you deliver eLearning in different languages, don’t assume that accessibility in one language automatically means accessibility in any other. Your eLearning platform and content need to be tested across all your target languages.
As localization experts, RWS can do this – and when it comes to closing accessibility gaps, we’ll never allow remediation to undo linguistic or cultural adaptations in your content that are important for effective learning. On the contrary, we’ll help you address localization as an integral part of the bigger eLearning accessibility picture.
Specific eLearning expertise
Not every accessibility specialist has expertise in the file formats, software engineering requirements and instructional design nuances of eLearning – but we do. Beyond assessing your eLearning platform and content for accessibility, we can close any discovered gaps through our eLearning-specific remediation services.
We can also help you develop eLearning development and design processes that take accessibility into account by default. By creating source content with accessibility in mind from the start, you’ll realize overall cost savings and faster time to market.
For any eLearning platform, content and objectives – in any language – we’ve got your accessibility needs covered.
Compliance and beyond
If you need to comply with specific accessibility legislation, we’ll be able to break down the requirements for you and help build an appropriate eLearning accessibility compliance plan.
If compliance isn’t what’s driving you, or you’re interested in best practices that go beyond compliance, we’ll typically use the framework of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and help you find the level that’s right for you.
“When discussing accessibility, RWS really stood out. Our other vendors offered some basic guidance, but RWS got stuck into details that mattered, and opened our eyes to what we could be doing.”
