iorad is built to support accessible learning for all users, including those using assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and high-contrast display modes. For organizations with accessibility requirements, iorad's tutorials are designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards and support Section 508 compliance for federally funded programs.

This overview covers the specific accessibility features available in iorad, how they apply to both the tutorial creation experience and the end-user viewing experience, and what training teams should know when deploying iorad to audiences with diverse accessibility needs. Organizations evaluating iorad for enterprise use will find the compliance documentation they need here.

As part of iorad’s mission to enable training and learning for all, our team commits to creating accessible materials and strives to build inclusive products for users of all abilities. We do this by following the guidelines set out by the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - for example:

Accessibility features for tutorial viewers

iorad tutorials include several features that improve the experience for users with accessibility needs:

  1. Keyboard navigation allows users to move through tutorial steps without a mouse.

  2. Screen reader compatibility ensures that step text and interface labels are readable by assistive technology.

  3. Text alternatives for visual elements provide context for users who cannot see screenshots.

  4. Font size controls let users adjust text for readability.

  5. For organizations deploying tutorials to employees with disabilities, these features ensure that interactive step-by-step training is as accessible as static documentation.

  6. Audio voiceovers and TTS.

Section 508 and WCAG compliance in iorad

Organizations that must comply with Section 508, which governs accessibility requirements for federally funded electronic content, need to confirm that any training tool they deploy meets the standard. iorad's interactive tutorial format is built to align with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines, the accessibility standard referenced by Section 508. This means tutorials support perceivable content presentation, operable navigation, understandable instructions, and robust compatibility with assistive technology. L&D and IT teams evaluating iorad for accessibility compliance can request the current Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, known as a VPAT, through iorad's sales team. The VPAT documents specific compliance status across all applicable criteria.
