Power to the people

All learners have the right to an equal playing field. We put accessibility at the heart of our product development to highlight learner ability, not disability.

Meet learners’ diverse needs

Imbalances in opportunity create imbalances in outcome. Learnosity makes it easier to build a better learning experience for all learners.

Optimize your product’s usability

Learnosity gives you a competitive edge in bringing parity to a large, under-served market.

Add accessibility from the start

Getting accessibility right takes investment. By measuring our products against WCAG 2.2 and Section 508 guidelines, Learnosity reduces the costs of integration for customers and the risk of alienating end users.

Stay at the cutting edge

When it comes to accessibility, we never rest on our laurels. Our continuous product enhancements become yours by default.

Barriers to full social and economic inclusion of persons with disabilities include... the unavailability of assistive devices and technologies, non-adapted means of communication, gaps in service delivery and discriminatory prejudice and stigma in society.

World Bank

We’re committed to removing the barriers to learning

One billion people, or 15% of the world’s total population, experience some form of disability. That’s why we bake accessibility into our product development lifecycle from the get-go.

Reveal learners' capabilities

From color contrast and keyboard navigation to screen reader support and accessible math, Learnosity allows you to create products that offer greater interactive possibilities to more people, across all devices and platforms.

Accessibility is a process

We design all new features with accessibility in mind and continuously work to ensure legacy features are brought up to speed. We also work hard to ensure they meet the highest regulatory standards.

Our VPAT

Caring about reaching learners everywhere means caring about accessibility—which is why we use tools like a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) to ensure we’re always on top of conformance. If you want to discuss how to deliver more accessible assessments, we’re here to help.

Learnosity's product design principles

#1

Guide the user

Design to be helpful. Know when to assist and provide appropriate feedback or guidance to prevent error.

#2

Be obvious and clear

Design for clarity and ease of use. Make sure available actions are intuitive.

#3

Be collaborative

Listen, understand, and arrive at outcomes together. Defining problems and designing solutions is more effective when we include different perspectives. Share knowledge and learnings to strengthen our expertise as a company and work better together as teams.

#4

Know our users

Listen and understand to get to know our users and why they do what they do. Putting the user’s goals at the center of what we do allows us to build and design products that solve real problems. Use real feedback to build a complete picture.

#5

Be inclusive and considerate of users with different abilities

Value the importance of creating accessible products for a diverse range of abilities from the start. Periodically consult with accessibility experts in the business and follow recommendations for product updates where necessary.

#6

Follow existing patterns and behaviors

Design a part to fit into a system. Strive for consistency. Think of the experience holistically and not as a single focus.

#7

Be flexible and extensible

Provide a well-tested and researched foundation that is flexible to empower our clients to achieve their goals – always considering the environments where our products will integrate and aiming for a seamless experience.
