Accessibility
The portal www.uninettunouniversity.net has been made accessible to people with disabilities, meeting the standards established by WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1) at level AA. The WCAG 2.1 AA level satisfies a wide range of recommendations to make web content more accessible. Uninettuno's accessibility statement is available on the portal at https://www.uninettunouniversity.net/en/accessibility.aspx .
Accessibility for the deaf and hard of hearing is also guaranteed by the fact that all video lessons and interactive classes are subtitled.
In addition to the implementations in the portal's native software, a specific software has been introduced, an accessibility widget.
The accessibility widget
The accessibility widget ( Click here to open the accessibility widget ) not only allows compliance with the standards
established by WCAG 2.1 at level AA, but introduces a series of additional features to facilitate access in various cases.
The content of the portal has thus been made more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning difficulties, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of the above. By implementing and adhering to the WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines, the portal's content has also become more usable for users in general.
The software helps to facilitate content usage for people with disabilities thanks to two components that work simultaneously: Artificial Intelligence and the Accessibility Interface.
