Kognity’s vision is to radically improve learning for 1,5 billion students worldwide. A key component in realising our vision is the accessibility of our product, which is a top priority for us. We’re committed in our work towards delivering on a WCAG* AA compliance level.

The accessibility Kognity strives towards:

  • Perceivable

    • Using a design that makes it easy to understand the product

    • Using standardised contrast ratio for readability

    • Key content text size can be adapted to user preferences

    • All images and other visual content include appropriate text alternatives

    • All audio includes a transcript

    • All videos include captions

  • Operable

    • All features can be controlled via keyboard, which supports users with a large range of assistive devices

  • Understandable

    • All text content is inclusive and written in alignment with the appropriate reading level

    • Subject specific glossary and general translation tools are provided

    • Microsoft Immersive Reader helps students with learning differences such as dyslexia, the Immersive Reader is available in compatible subjects

    • Behaviour of the platform is predictable which helps users with and without assistive devices understand and use the platform
