Why accessibility matters in education
Students and staff face digital barriers
Many users still can’t access online learning platforms, faculty portals, or administrative systems with assistive technologies.
Barriers in navigation or readability directly affect participation, teaching, and learning outcomes.
Manual audits don’t scale
Most education providers rely on one-time accessibility reviews.
As content and systems change, those reports quickly become outdated, leaving teams exposed to ongoing compliance and inclusion risks.
Non-compliance risks real penalties
The European Accessibility Act and national regulations require WCAG 2.2 AA compliance by 2025.
Failing to meet these standards can result in fines and public enforcement actions that affect institutional reputation and funding eligibility.
Inaccessible content limits learning
Online course pages, forms, and learning tools must be accessible to everyone.
Poor contrast, missing headings, or unclear labels can block access for students or educators.
Compliance is complex across systems
Educational institutions manage multiple platforms, intranets, and websites across departments.
Tracking accessibility across them all without automation is nearly impossible.
Institutional trust depends on inclusion
Digital accessibility reflects academic quality and equality.
Accessible systems build confidence among students, staff, and partners, while inaccessible ones erode trust and institutional credibility.
How Askem Supports Digital Education
Quality Assurance → WCAG Compliance
Continuous WCAG 2.2 AA monitoring keeps every digital learning touchpoint accessible and compliant.
Askem detects issues in real time across broken links, navigation, and readability so teams can resolve them before they affect students or staff.
Reporting follows EN 301 549 and EAA standards, replacing one-off audits with continuous compliance visibility.
Web Analytics → Learning Journey Insights
Our GDPR-compliant, cookieless analytics show how users navigate through your digital learning environments and where accessibility barriers appear.
From enrollment systems to course platforms, the data helps teams remove friction and build smoother, more inclusive experiences that support both students and educators.
