Accessibility Statement

E-Campus Ontario Open Education believes that education must be available to everyone. This means supporting the creation of free, open, and accessible educational resources. We are actively committed to increasing the accessibility and usability of the textbooks we produce.

The web version of this resource has been designed to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, level AA. It includes:

  • Easy navigation. This text has a linked table of contents and uses headings in each chapter to make navigation easy.
  • Accessible images. All images in this text that convey information have alternative text. Images that are decorative have empty alternative text.
  • Accessible links. All links use descriptive link text.

Known Accessibility Issues and Areas for Improvement

While the guide itself meets accessibility guidelines, it links to a number of external resources that may not. This includes websites, PDFs, and videos that only have automatically generated captions. In addition, we have used HP5 interactivity in some chapters – content from all HP5 activities is available in text-only formats in Appendix A.
