CourseAvenue Launches AccessibilityGuard to Help Prevent Publication of Inaccessible eLearning
AccessibilityGuard adds system-enforced accessibility checks to the CourseAvenue publishing process.
Chicago, IL — August 1, 2024
CourseAvenue announced the launch of AccessibilityGuard, a feature designed to help federal agencies and other organizations prevent the publication of inaccessible eLearning content.
AccessibilityGuard is part of the CourseAvenue platform. It supports automated accessibility auditing and pre-publication compliance checks so course creators can identify issues earlier and integrate accessibility directly into the course development and publishing process.
Key features of AccessibilityGuard
Automated auditing
Audits courseware to identify accessibility issues before publication.
Pre-publication checks
Helps ensure courses meet Section 508 and WCAG expectations before they are published.
Administrator override
Allows designated administrators to manage exceptions while preserving governance and compliance integrity.
“With CourseAvenue, organizations can build, review, deliver, and maintain Section 508/WCAG compliant eLearning content faster and more efficiently than ever before.”
Joe Gorup, President and Co-Founder, CourseAvenue
CourseAvenue has more than a decade of experience creating Section 508-compliant eLearning content and supporting scalable courseware programs for complex organizations.
AccessibilityGuard is integrated with CourseAvenue’s courseware platform, helping organizations build, manage, deliver, and maintain accessible learning without treating accessibility as an after-the-fact remediation exercise.
Accessible eLearning at scale
USDA has published a large library of Section 508 and SCORM conformant eLearning titles with very few accessibility issues reported across a broad learner population. Most courses were developed by USDA personnel, many of whom had never created eLearning before.
