The digital accessibility of software applications and websites is playing an increasingly important role in modern companies. This contributes step by step to a noticeable improvement in user-friendliness and is therefore extremely important in order to enable all people to participate in the increasing digitization of the labor market. In particular, this should make it easier for people with physical and mental disabilities to access mobile applications. Thus, digital accessibility ensures simplified inclusion in the labor market.
We at SWISSTEACH have many years of experience in the area of EMPLOYEE TRAINING and have summarized everything for you below on the topic of digital accessibility and its concrete implementation.
DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY - EXAMPLE E-LEARNING
In modern companies, e-learning is increasingly used as a format for the ongoing development of employees. The crucial task is to make e-learning as barrier-free as possible.
To create digital accessibility in the e-learning environment, one of the options is to use a screen reader. The screen reader is a supporting application that shows and explains all icons, applications and commands to the user while operating the computer. Automatic adjustment of the contrast on the screen is also of great importance for digital accessibility. After all, optimizing this is crucial to ensuring that users - even if they have an impairment - can see all applications and texts clearly and distinctly.
The screen reader in particular thus represents an easy way to create digital accessibility. Even for people who do not belong to the "digital natives", this tool can be a good help to meet the requirements of the increasingly digital working world.
DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY - THE MOST IMPORTANT BASIC RULES
When developing digital accessibility solutions, some basic rules must be followed to achieve the desired result. For example, to create digital accessibility, the following points must be observed:
First, the correct order of headings (headings) is significant. These are divided into h1, h2 and h3 headings. It is important not to mix up the different numberings and to continue them logically.
Tables must be inserted correctly via table headers.
Images always require a corresponding description.
Icon buttons should also be labeled consistently.
It is essential to work with buttons and not with other HTML elements such as divs.
DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY LEARNING FOR EVERYONE AND AT MY TIME
The social and human significance of digital accessibility is immeasurable. Everyone, regardless of their individual limitations or impairments, should have the opportunity to learn and develop personally and thus participate in everyday life. Even small changes can have an enormous impact, as this article shows.
"6TH SENSE FOR SHARING KNOWLEDGE FOR EVERYONE, ANYTIME, WORLDWIDE."
Our vision is the basis of our everyday work and is reflected in our entire product range.
DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY IN OUR LMS SOLUTIONS
We at Swissteach offer you a LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS), which sustainably ensures digital accessibility in your company. Our LMS solution GLOBAL TEACH® has been continuously developed and optimized by us for 20 years now, among other things for the purpose of reducing personal barriers. For example, GLOBAL TEACH® uses a screen reader that displays and explains the corresponding icons and commands to the users simultaneously with the application. In addition, an appropriate use of contrast is also integrated in our LMS solution, which guarantees optimal readability. If desired, the LMS can also be operated exclusively by using the keyboard, which makes the addition of additional hardware unnecessary.
