This statement applies to the Learn Upon platform and all the eLearning content hosted on the platform which is used by UCL staff.
This platform is managed by OD Digital Learning team. The platform is available for all UCL staff to undertake any eLearning courses hosted on this platform including mandatory trainings. To cater to the needs of everyone to be able to use the eLearning content on the platform accessibility is key, hence users using eLearning content on this platform will be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We have also made text only versions available for most of the eLearning content to make it easier for the end user with accessibility needs.
There are a number of customisation options for your browser and device that could help you use this website and other websites more effectively. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
How accessible this platform and eLearning content is
While the platform itself is compatible with accessibility, we are aware of some parts of the eLearning content that might not be compatible with accessibility. To accommodate this, we have plain text versions available to download for most of our eLearning content.
Most of our eLearning content hosted on the platform passes through the accessibility tests done by OD digital learning team following the WCAG AA standards.
