Specific Accessibility Features

We have implemented several features to enhance accessibility, including:

• Semantic HTML: Using appropriate HTML tags to structure content for screen readers and other assistive technologies.

• Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring that all interactive elements are navigable using a keyboard.
• Color Contrast: Maintaining sufficient color contrast between text and background to improve readability for users with low vision.
• Resizable Text: Allowing users to increase or decrease text size without losing content or functionality.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Providing a clear and consistent navigation structure to help users easily find what they are looking for.

• Video Captions and Transcripts: Providing captions and transcripts for all video content.

Accessibility Audits and Testing

NovaLearn Academy conducts regular accessibility audits of our website to identify and address potential accessibility issues.
