Partnership

Beyond Compliance: Teaching Accessibility Itself

Meeting a standard makes our platform usable. It does not teach anyone to build accessibly. That is why, since 2024, we have partnered with Teach Access.

Teach Access is a non-profit collaboration between education, industry, government, and disability advocacy organizations, working to make digital accessibility a fundamental part of how students learn to design and build technology. Their aim is a generation entering the workforce already knowing how to make what they create usable by everyone.

Teach Access programs and resources are free and open to students and educators.

Student Academy

Structured learning in accessible design and development, for students who want the skills before they enter the workforce.

Student Ambassador Program

For students who want to lead on accessibility inside their own campus community.

Faculty Fellowship

Support for faculty bringing accessibility principles into what they teach.

Grants for Educators

Teach Access has awarded more than $350,000 to educators building accessibility into college curricula.

Curriculum Repository

A free, open educational resource of accessibility teaching materials.

Self-Paced Courses

Free online courses on disability and digital accessibility, open to anyone.

Accessibility Built Into the Work Itself

Students publish real work to a real audience. The platform helps them do it accessibly.

Prompts While You Author

Digication notifies authors when an image is missing alt text or a video is missing captions, at the moment they add it. Accessibility becomes part of creating the work, not a cleanup task afterward.

Assistive Technology Support

The platform is built to interoperate with assistive technology, with published screen reader guidance for the people who rely on it.

User Preference Support

Accessible prompts and forms, and caption controls that respect how each person needs to work.

Accessible Templates

Portfolio and assessment templates are themselves covered by our accessibility conformance testing, so what students start from is already sound.

In Practice, in Their Words
