Enhancing Accessibility in Our Student Portal: A WCAG 2.1 Update

At MagicBox, we are committed to continuously enhancing our platform to provide the best learning experience for all users. We are thrilled to announce that our student portal is fully accessible to WCAG 2.1 Standard Level A and Level AA users.

Our student portal has undergone a comprehensive transformation, which has made it fully accessible and compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Standard Level A and Level AA. This enhancement ensures that all students, regardless of their abilities, can now access and engage with their learning using the latest technology.

What's New with WCAG 2.1 AA

Defining Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA is a set of guidelines aimed at enhancing web content accessibility for individuals with various disabilities, covering a broad spectrum including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
Comprehensive Coverage: The guidelines address a wide range of issues but acknowledge the diversity of disabilities, recognizing that they may not cater to every type, degree, and combination of disability.
Global Collaboration: Developed through the W3C process, WCAG 2.1 involves collaboration with individuals and organizations worldwide.
Evolution from WCAG 2.0: WCAG 2.1 builds upon the foundation laid by WCAG 2.0, which in turn evolved from WCAG 1.0. This evolution ensures adaptability to different web technologies, both present and future, making the guidelines relevant and applicable over time.
