Accessibility statement.

WCAG 2.2 AA is the target for the app, this site and every artefact Coord exports, because the coordinator's own students will read the outline and the rubric.1 This statement was last reviewed on 5 September 2026.

The statement

Status

This site is built to conform with WCAG 2.2 Level AA and is checked page by page before publication. The workspace at /dashboard is in private preview and is built to the same target; a full conformance audit will be published when the workspace is generally available, and until then this statement describes the site.

What is done on this site

  • Semantic HTML with landmarks: a header, one primary navigation, one main region, asides for margin notes, a footer. One first-level heading per page.
  • A skip link is the first focusable element on every page.
  • Keyboard access to everything, with a visible two-pixel focus ring that is never obscured.
  • Text contrast at or above 4.5:1 in both the day and night themes; large text and interface parts at or above 3:1. Colour is never the only signal: stamps carry their word, the census circle has a label with the date, and status is always written.
  • Text scales to 200% without loss and reflows at 400% without horizontal scrolling of the page; wide tables scroll within their own container.
  • Motion is limited to opacity, a single-axis movement and the drawing of one line. When the system asks for reduced motion, nothing moves and videos show their poster image.
  • Every image has a description or is marked decorative; every video is muted, has a poster and a description, and plays nothing that flashes.
  • Forms have visible labels, hints tied to the field, and errors written next to the field and announced.
  • The language is declared as Australian English; dates are written out (Mon 7 Sep 2026).
  • The page works without JavaScript; scripts only add the live ruler, the theme toggle, the pricing toggle, the contact form and sign-in.

In the workspace

  • A “plain type” preference swaps the reading face for Atkinson Hyperlegible Next without reflowing tables, and a “still” preference removes all motion regardless of system settings.
  • Every drag has a keyboard path; the marking desk is fully keyboard-driven.
  • Grade bands always show the letter; a fail is hatched as well as coloured.
  • Exported outlines, rubrics and timetables are produced as tagged, structured documents.

Known limitations

  • Video plates cannot be paused by a control on the page; they pause when reduced motion is set and when they scroll out of view. A pause control is planned.
  • The hover preview of a footnote is a convenience on wide screens; the footnote itself is always available at the foot of the page by following the reference.
  • The workspace has not yet been audited by a third party.

Standards and law

The Higher Education Standards Framework references the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 applies to us directly as a provider of a service, and Australian government procurement adopts AS EN 301 549, which incorporates WCAG. University procurement checklists commonly ask for a WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA conformance statement or a VPAT; this page and the conformance summary are ours.1
