Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

EdTechLab LTD (“Engaged Lab”) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

The official company website of EdTechLab LTD is EdTechLab.co.uk.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. WCAG 2.1 AA is also referenced in the UK Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 and by Jisc in their accessibility guidance for higher education.

Our current conformance status is partially conformant. We are actively working on achieving full Level AA conformance through our phased remediation programme.

Measures Taken

• Automated accessibility testing using Pa11y and axe-core in our CI/CD pipeline
• Lighthouse accessibility audits with a minimum score threshold of 95
• ESLint jsx-a11y plugin enforcing 24+ accessibility rules across all React components
• Skip-to-content navigation link on every page
• Respect for prefers-reduced-motion user preferences — all animations are disabled when users request reduced motion
• Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
• ARIA attributes for interactive components and live regions
• Sufficient colour contrast ratios in both light and dark themes
• Keyboard navigation support across all interactive elements
• Alt text requirement for all images (enforced by linting)

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of the platform may have accessibility limitations:

• AI-generated lab content: Content generated by AI may not always produce optimal alt text for embedded diagrams or maintain perfect heading hierarchy. We are improving our prompt engineering to address this.
• SCORM export packages: Exported SCORM packages rely on the host LMS for some accessibility features. We provide accessible HTML structure within our exports.
• Third-party embeds: Some embedded content from external sources may not meet our accessibility standards. We are reviewing all third-party integrations.

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Engaged Lab is designed to be compatible with:

• Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
• Screen magnification software
• Speech recognition software
• Keyboard-only navigation
• Browser zoom up to 200%
