We endeavor to make terc.edu websites responsive and accessible according to WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines that impact their construction and display: e.g., proper use of semantic markup, image alt tags, color contrast, keyboard access, form labels, compliant interactive elements, etc. Many accessibility goals have been met by TERC, while others are in progress.
In addition, TERC is undertaking the following goals:
Track Recommended Standards
We endeavor to keep abreast of any changes to compliance standards to ensure that we are aware of and responding to the latest accessibility requirements. In partnership with our accessibility consultants Zayd Media, we will convene at least annual reviews of the current WCAG and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and make best efforts to respond to any new or changed requirements swiftly.
Monitoring of Websites
New and changing content can introduce accessibility issues and provide opportunities for improvement. We will regularly monitor content changes to identify accessibility problems and solutions both manually and using third-party accessibility monitoring tools.
Content Manager Training
We require that all website content managers—including content writers, editors, and designers—to undergo mandatory web accessibility training prior to contributing to our websites.
Incorporate User Feedback
We invite user feedback and use it to help guide accessibility improvements and identify areas in need of attention. The form below makes it easy for website users to submit feedback on accessibility, and TERC will consider submitted accessibility concerns when making future improvements.
