Contact Information: Patrick Geiger, Co-Founder pgeiger@scalablelearning.net 312-274-0330
Notes: This report reflects a good-faith assessment of the product's accessibility as of the report date. The product is in active development and accessibility improvements are ongoing. Formal third-party accessibility testing is planned prior to general availability.
Evaluation Methods Used: Manual review of key user flows in the web application, including module launch, video playback, and conversation interactions. Review considered keyboard navigation, focus behavior, labels, color contrast, and captions for prerecorded video. The software developer has experience with accessibility practices and has aimed to align the product with WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards throughout development.

WCAG 2.2 Report
Note: When reporting on conformance with the WCAG 2.2 Success Criteria, they are scoped for full pages, complete processes, and accessibility-supported ways of using technology as documented in the WCAG 2.2 Conformance Requirements.
Table 1: Success Criteria, Level A
| Criteria | Conformance Level | Remarks and Explanations |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A) | Supports | |

| 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A) | Partially Supports | The learning module interface includes a multi-section navigation sidebar, a card carousel, and a real-time conversation interface. While semantic HTML is used throughout, some dynamic components and custom controls may not fully expose structural relationships to assistive technologies. Under review. |
| 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (Level A) | Supports | Content is presented in a logical sequence. The sidebar navigation and carousel structure follow a consistent DOM order. Navigation arrows are keyboard-accessible. |
| 1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics (Level A) | Supports | |
| 1.4.1 Use of Color (Level A) | Supports | |
| 1.4.2 Audio Control (Level A) | Supports | |

| 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable (Level A) | Supports | |
| 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide (Level A) | Supports | Content updates in the conversation interface are triggered by explicit user submission and do not constitute automatically-initiated moving or updating content under this criterion. Video playback includes pause/stop controls via the Video.js player. |
| 2.3.1 Three Flashes or Below Threshold (Level A) | Supports | |
| 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (Level A) | Partially Supports | The application does not implement a "skip to main content" link. However, the module interface is a single-page application where repeated navigation elements are minimal. Keyboard users can tab through the sidebar navigation to reach the main content area. |
| 2.4.2 Page Titled (Level A) | Supports | |
| 2.4.3 Focus Order (Level A) | Supports | Focus order follows a logical sequence throughout the application. Sidebar navigation, carousel cards, conversation interface, and media controls are ordered consistently with the visual layout. |
| 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (Level A) | Supports | |
| 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures (Level A 2.1 and 2.2) | Supports | On small screen sizes, the carousel supports swipe gestures for card navigation. Arrow buttons and pagination dots provide equivalent single-pointer alternatives on all screen sizes. |
| 2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation (Level A 2.1 and 2.2) | Supports | |
| 2.5.3 Label in Name (Level A 2.1 and 2.2) | Supports | |
| 2.5.4 Motion Actuation (Level A 2.1 and 2.2) | Supports | |
| 3.1.1 Language of Page (Level A) | Supports | |
| 3.2.1 On Focus (Level A) | Supports | |
| 3.2.2 On Input (Level A) | Supports | |
| 3.2.6 Consistent Help (Level A 2.2 only) | Supports | Our product does not have a recurring help mechanism |
| 3.3.1 Error Identification (Level A) | Supports | |
| 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions (Level A) | Supports | |
| 3.3.7 Redundant Entry (Level A 2.2 only) | Supports | |
| 4.1.1 Parsing (Level A) WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 – Always answer 'Supports' WCAG 2.2 (obsolete and removed) - Does not apply | Supports | For WCAG 2.0 and 2.1, the September 2023 errata update indicates this criterion is always supported. See the WCAG 2.0 Editorial Errata and the WCAG 2.1 Editorial Errata. |
| 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A) | Supports | All UI components, including custom controls such as the Video.js media player, conversation interface, and choice buttons, correctly expose name, role, and value to assistive technologies. |
Table 2: Success Criteria, Level AA

|---|---|---|
| 1.2.4 Captions (Live) (Level AA) | Supports | No live-streamed media |

| 2.4.5 Multiple Ways (Level AA) | Supports | Users can navigate via the left-side section menu, sequential carousel arrow buttons, and the pagination bar at the bottom of each section, which allows direct access to any card within a section. |
| 2.4.6 Headings and Labels (Level AA) | Supports | |
| 2.4.7 Focus Visible (Level AA) | Supports | Keyboard focus indicators are visible on all interactive elements throughout the application, including custom buttons, navigation controls, and conversation inputs. |
| 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) (Level AA 2.2 only) | Supports | Focused elements are not obscured by author-created content under normal use conditions. The fixed sidebar navigation and bottom pagination bar are sized and positioned to avoid fully covering focused elements at standard desktop and mobile resolutions. |
| 2.5.7 Dragging Movements (Level AA 2.2 only) | Supports | |
| 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum) (Level AA 2.2 only) | Supports | |

However, the open-ended conversational interface does not provide deterministic error correction suggestions for all input types. Form-based inputs include explicit error messages. |
| 3.3.4 Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data) (Level AA) | Supports | |
| 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum) (Level AA 2.2 only) | Supports | Authentication is handled via magic link (no password or cognitive test required) or via the institution's LMS through LTI 1.3, which offloads authentication entirely to the institution's own system. |
| 4.1.3 Status Messages (Level AA 2.1 and 2.2) | Supports | Status and error messages, including AI API errors, are presented as message bubbles within the conversation interface and are available to assistive technologies. |
