GoReact, makers of a video-based skill-training platform used in the classroom, today announced that their software meets the AA standard of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Since its inception, GoReact software has catered to a wide audience of users. Any kind of teacher, coach, or mentor can use GoReact to help students improve their communication skills, presentations, visual projects, or performances. Having AA WCAG in place not only improves the platform’s user experience, but also improves GoReact’s accessibility, particularly for users with disabilities.
According to W3C, WCAG compliance has “a goal of proving a single shared standard for web content accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organizations, and governments internationally.” WCAG’s guidelines fall into five broad categories: color contrast, labeling, error displays, keyboard navigation, and closed captioning. Achieving the AA level of WCAG 2.0 compliance required GoReact to add increased accessibility features above its previous single-A level.
