Accessibility

All web sites at the University of Leeds are required to conform accessibility guidelines from September 2002.

The developers of Boxmind Enlighten have been keen to take accessibility requrements on board in the development of the software. The combination of images, audio and text has the potential to be of great value in presenting the material in a variety of ways for learners with different needs. There are also specific accessibility features including variable text size and contrast.

The following priority 1 guideline are particularly important for authoring with Boxmind. Follow the links to get advice on how best to meet the priorities.

1.1 - Provide a text equivalent for every non-text element.

• 1.1a - a text equivalent for images and graphical buttons.
  
• 1.1b - a text equivalent for graphical representations of text (including symbols).
  
• 1.1g - a text equivalent for frames.
• 1.1m - a text equivalent for audio tracks of video.
• 1.1n - a text equivalent for video.
  

1.3 - Until browsers can automatically read aloud the text equivalent of a visual track provide an auditory description of the important information of the visual track of a multimedia presentation.

1.4 - For any time-based multimedia presentation (e.g., a movie or animation), synchronise equivalent alternatives (e.g., captions or auditory descriptions of the visual track) with the presentation.
