Accessibility

Our commitment

The college and Collegene want the student system and Learn to be usable with a keyboard, with a screen reader, and on a small screen. We review barriers that people report, and we ask the college when a document needs to be provided another way.

This statement was last reviewed on 23 October 2026.

The standard we aim for

The target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA. That is a target. It is not a claim that every page fully conforms today, and it is not a formal audit or a certificate.

Features you can use

• Keyboard: links, buttons and menus can be reached with Tab and activated with Enter. Many menus close with Escape. In Playback settings, Tab and Shift+Tab move through every control, and Escape closes the menu and returns focus to the Playback settings button. On a lesson video, while the player has focus, the space bar or K plays or pauses, the arrow keys move by five seconds, and C switches captions. Those player keys do not apply while you are typing in a field, or while a button has focus.
• Focus: the control you are on shows a visible outline.
• Text size: on a lesson, Reading settings offers Small, Medium and Large. The choice is remembered for you at this college on this device. It applies to the lesson, not to every page.
• Captions and transcripts: Show captions and Hide captions are in Playback settings. Caption size can be small, medium or large. The transcript can be searched. Some lessons have no transcript yet, and the page says No transcript yet.
• Audio only: in Playback settings, a lesson can play the sound track without the picture, when that track exists. Show video returns to the picture.
• Low bandwidth: in Playback settings, this uses the smaller picture. A separate control of the same name, in the Learn account menu and on the classroom page, uses simpler type and hides decorative drawings.
• Reduced motion: when your device asks for less motion, timed motion in the theme is shortened or turned off.
• Light and dark themes: you can choose either. Learn follows the device until you choose. The student system remembers the choice in a preference cookie.
• Names for screen readers: controls have text names, including buttons that are only an icon. The college logo has a text alternative. Some changes, such as text size, are announced in a status region.
• Reading tools: a lesson can also offer a dyslexia font, a focus layout, and read aloud when the browser can speak.

Known limitations

• Skip to content is the first link on the student system public frame, including Help, Cookies, Accessibility, Terms and the college pages, and on Learn public pages that use the document layout, including those same pages, the college pages and the public catalogue. The signed-in Learn shell uses Skip to content. A lesson also offers Skip to the lesson. Learn sign-in, the authenticator step, a gate that replaces the shell, the forbidden page, the error page, the not-found page, and the page for a host that is not linked to a college do not include a skip link.
• Not every lesson has captions or a transcript.
• Text size does not resize the whole site.
• Saved offline lessons do not include quiz files.
• Sign-in pages run by Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook or a passkey provider are outside this site.
• A map link, when a published address has one, opens another site.
• This statement is not a conformance claim. Some pages may still miss the WCAG 2.2 AA target.

Ask for another format

You can ask the college for a document in another format, such as large print or a file your screen reader can read. Use the contact address on Talk to a person or Contact. Say which page or document you need, and the format that works for you. The college decides how it provides that copy. This page does not set a time for the reply.

Report a barrier

If something blocks you, contact the college using the address it has published. Include the page address, what you were trying to do, and what you use (for example a keyboard, a screen reader, or a phone). That is enough for a person to look at the barrier.
