Why Accessibility-First Will Always Be Our Focus
CourseArc’s founding story centers on creating better lifelong learning opportunities for all and removing barriers so everyone can learn. We saw firsthand the limitations that many products on the market had—especially when it came to accessibility—and worked to build a course authoring tool that would address that. That drive to create accessible online course content has remained at the forefront of everything we do.
Developing accessible online content is fundamental to CourseArc’s overall diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion practices. Whenever we have new features and updates to our product, we take it through each of our core value lenses: Is it accessible? Is it equitable? Is it inclusive? Is it diverse? And if they don’t meet those values, how can we adjust to ensure they do?
