Reading and navigation controls
A skip link is the first item on the page and moves you to the main content. The navigation bar stays available while you scroll and collapses into a single button on small screens, announcing its open or closed state. A larger-text control is in the header, and each page carries a language control covering the languages published on the site.
- Skip to content link
- Sticky header that collapses into a menu button with an announced state
- Larger-text control
- Language selection
- Current-section marking for the page you are on
Screen readers and refreshable braille
Pages use landmark regions for header, navigation, main content and footer, one primary heading with subordinate headings in order, and real lists for grouped content. Braille reading mode hides decorative images and leaves the content in semantic reading order so a screen reader or refreshable braille display receives the document as written, with a spoken status message when the mode is turned on or off.
- Landmark regions
- Ordered headings
- Semantic lists and tables
- Braille reading mode with live status announcement
- Decorative imagery excluded from the reading path
Low vision, contrast and motion
A higher-contrast control is provided, focus is shown with a visible outline on every interactive element, text and interface colour pairs are set to hold a readable contrast ratio, and motion is reduced automatically when your system asks for reduced motion. Transitions are short and never required to complete a task.
- Higher-contrast control
- Visible keyboard focus on all controls
- Automatic reduced motion when the system prefers it
- Text that reflows without horizontal scrolling at common widths
Dyslexia and cognitive load
Body text is sentence case in a readable sans face with generous line height and a bounded measure. Instructions appear beside the field they describe, errors name the field and the fix, progress through a multi-step form is shown as numbered steps you can move back through, and no step is completed by memory alone.
- Sentence case, generous line height, bounded line length
- Labels beside every field, never colour alone
- Plain-language error messages naming the field and the correction
- Numbered, reversible steps on long forms
Keyboard and forms
Every control is reachable and operable from the keyboard, buttons state their purpose, pressed and expanded states are exposed to assistive technology, and submission gives a status message rather than replacing the page content silently.
Standard we work to
AIOT targets WCAG 2.1 level AA across the public learning journey and follows widely adopted accessibility practices for web platforms. This page describes implemented features; a conformance level is only claimed for what has been tested, and testing is recorded as it is completed.
Known limitations
Recorded honestly and reviewed each release: older page templates that predate the current header do not yet carry the same navigation structure; some downloaded resource files are PDF documents that have not yet been checked for tagged structure; and automated checks cover code conformance, not the experience of every assistive technology combination.
- Legacy templates awaiting the shared header
- Downloaded resource files not yet structurally tagged
- No full matrix of screen reader and browser combinations tested yet
Report a barrier
Tell us the page, the device, the assistive technology you use and what blocked you, through the help library or your learner dashboard. Accessibility reports are treated as defects: they are acknowledged, reproduced, fixed in the next release, and listed here once resolved.
