Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: June 12, 2024
Rewardcedar is committed to ensuring that our online learning platform is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We believe that education should be available to everyone, and we work continuously to improve the accessibility and usability of our website and course content.
Our Commitment
We strive to conform to recognized international accessibility standards and best practices. Our goal is to provide an inclusive digital learning environment where all learners can navigate, understand, and interact with our content effectively, regardless of ability or the assistive technology they use.
We are committed to making reasonable accommodations and improvements on an ongoing basis, treating accessibility as a continuous process rather than a fixed destination.
Standards We Follow
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines are developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and represent the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility.
The four core principles of WCAG require that content be:
| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| Perceivable | Information and interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive, including through assistive technologies. |
| Operable | Interface components and navigation must be operable by all users, including those who rely on keyboard navigation or other input methods. |
| Understandable | Information and the operation of the interface must be understandable, with clear language and predictable behaviour. |
| Robust | Content must be robust enough to be reliably interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies. |
Accessibility Features
We have implemented or are working toward the following accessibility features across our platform:
Visual Accessibility
Our platform is designed with sufficient colour contrast to support users with low vision or colour blindness. Text content is scalable without loss of functionality, and we avoid conveying information through colour alone. Images used for informational purposes include descriptive alternative text.
Keyboard and Navigation Accessibility
All core functionality on our platform is accessible via keyboard navigation. We provide visible focus indicators so users can identify their location on the page at all times. Navigation is consistent and predictable throughout the site.
Screen Reader Compatibility
Our pages use semantic HTML markup to support compatibility with screen readers and other assistive technologies. Form elements include appropriate labels, and interactive components include descriptive ARIA attributes where applicable.
Audio and Video Content
Where video or audio content is included as part of course material, we aim to provide captions, transcripts, or alternative formats. We are actively working to ensure all media content meets accessibility requirements.
Forms and Interactive Elements
All forms on our platform include clearly associated labels and provide descriptive error messages to help users identify and correct input errors. Required fields are clearly indicated.
Known Limitations
While we are committed to accessibility, we acknowledge that some areas of our platform may not yet fully meet all accessibility standards. These may include certain third-party tools or embedded content that we do not directly control.
We are actively working to identify and address these limitations. If you encounter a barrier that affects your ability to use our platform, please contact us so we can prioritize a resolution.
Assistive Technologies Supported
We aim to support compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies, including but not limited to:
| Technology Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Screen Readers | NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack |
| Voice Recognition | Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Voice Control |
| Keyboard Navigation | Standard keyboard, switch access devices |
| Screen Magnification | ZoomText, built-in browser zoom |
We recommend using an up-to-date browser for the best experience. Our platform is tested across modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Third-Party Content
Our platform may include content or tools provided by third parties, such as payment processors, video hosting services, or embedded interactive tools. While we encourage our partners to meet accessibility standards, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content. Where possible, we provide alternative means of accessing equivalent information or functionality.
Feedback and Contact
We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our platform. If you experience any difficulty accessing content, encounter an accessibility barrier, or have suggestions for improvement, please reach out to us. We aim to respond to accessibility-related enquiries promptly and to provide accessible alternatives where possible.

Ongoing Efforts
Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. We conduct periodic reviews of our platform to identify accessibility issues and track our progress toward full conformance. Our team receives training on accessible design and development practices, and accessibility is considered at every stage of new feature development.
We update this statement as improvements are made or when our approach to accessibility changes.
