You will learn how these standards and guidelines are structured, and will gain an understanding of each of the 4 WCAG principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust). We’ll walk through the success criteria (SC) that we can test our content against.
We’ll help to explain differences between EN 301 549 and WCAG and if you have been working towards WCAG comformance any extra things you may need to do to ensure you meet the technical requirements of EN 301 549 under the EAA.
After completing the module, you’ll have a clearer picture of what EN 301 549 and WCAG are, and how we use them to evaluate our content for accessibility, determine your level of conformance to the European Accessibility Act and and understand how to avoid the more common accessibility issues.
