Accessibility resources

附录1 -具体服务

MyAberdeen虚拟学习环境

MyAberdeen is the main institutional Virtual Learning Environment. 它由Blackboard Learn提供支持,并包括其他软件应用程序, such as Turnitin and Panopto.  This accessibility statement aims to cover all the software applications that form part of MyAberdeen.  

Blackboard Learn Software

Blackboard Learn是根据WCAG 2开发的.1 Level AA.  Blackboard Learn is structured using heading styles which allows for navigation using the keyboard or a screen reader.  However, annotated feedback provided in Blackboard Assignments is not yet fully accessible and audio/video comments in assignments currently do not have text transcription.  十大靠谱网投平台该平台的可访问性的更多细节,请参阅黑板的页面 黑板学习的可达性 and Blackboard的承诺声明.

Blackboard provide mobile applications for staff and students. Accessibility statements for these are available for students and staff.

Blackboard Ally Software

We’ve integrated Blackboard Ally with MyAberdeen to provide feedback and reporting for staff on the accessibility of documents, images and HTML content. 

Blackboard Ally也生成 alternative file formats 供学生浏览MyAberdeen上的文件.  For example, a Word document uploaded to a course area can be downloaded as a PDF, MP3, ePub, Beeline阅读器或电子盲文文件. 

文档,图像和HTML内容

Blackboard Ally向员工强调了常见的可访问性问题:

  • Colour contrast issues
  • 没有替代文本描述的图像
  • Documents without appropriate tags, titles or heading styles
  • Tables without headers
  • Scanned documents without OCR (Optical Character Recognition)

Each semester, 教学人员出版著作130余篇,000 documents, images, MyAberdeen上的HTML项目, mostly in the form of PDFs, images, Word文档和PowerPoint演示文稿.  The overall Ally accessibility score for Spring term course learning materials in the academic year 2021-22 was 62.1%.  十大靠谱网投平台每年都与学术院校合作,确定需要改进的领域.

Virtual Classroom Software

MyAberdeen has two integrated virtual classroom applications, Blackboard Collaborate, which is widely used, and Microsoft Teams which is currently being piloted.  这两个平台都与屏幕阅读器兼容,并允许键盘导航. 

Collaborate provides live person-generated captions which may be used to support students with a declared hearing impairments and functionality to pin a web cam to keep it visible on screen.  此外,工作人员可以在录音中添加字幕.  Future developments will include automatic live captions.  十大靠谱网投平台协作的可访问性的详细技术信息可在 Blackboard Collaborate help page. 

微软Teams拥有实时自动字幕和固定网络摄像头的功能.  Detailed technical information on the accessibility of Microsoft Teams is available on the Microsoft Teams support page.

Turnitin Software

We’ve integrated Turnitin text-matching software with MyAberdeen to help identify plagiarism in student submissions.  Turnitin Originality Report and Feedback Studio can be navigated by using the keyboard or a screen reader.  However, Turnitin is not yet fully accessible so provides a text-only similarity report which is compatible with assistive technology.  Audio comments currently do not have text transcription.  有关Turnitin可获得性的详细技术资料载于 Turnitin自愿产品可访问性模板.

Questionmark Software

少数课程使用Questionmark软件进行评估.  有关“问答唛”可使用的详细技术资料,请参阅 Questionmark的可访问性声明.

Panopto Software

The University generates 13,000 hours of media each year, 讲座大多以视频捕捉的形式进行, 在十大靠谱网投平台的媒体平台上, Panopto.  A detailed technical assessment on the accessibility of Panopto (for web and mobile app) is available in the Panopto自愿产品可访问性模板 (VPAT) document.

Audio/Video Material

We’re committed to improving the accessibility of media on Panopto and have introduced measures to help make learning material more inclusive.  在2021-22学年,大约40%的视频有封闭的字幕. 

We provide schools with staff development along with 指导和资金,以确保提供高质量的封闭字幕.  In the first instance, staff are encouraged to caption their own video material, 使用Panopto服务内置的工具.  We also provide content creators with guidance on how to generate transcripts and audio description using Panopto and the Dictate feature in Microsoft Word.

However, some videos only have automated captions where staff have been unable to provide good quality captions and some videos have no captions if staff feel the accuracy of automated captions would be detrimental to the student experience (e.g. 语言和STEM学科). In such cases accessible alternative materials are made available.

We’ll continue to work towards improving the accessibility of media and providing suitable tools to make this process less time consuming for academic staff and more beneficial for our students.

大学采取的行动

Staff Development

在2022年1月,十大靠谱网投平台推出了 包容性和可达性框架 for staff which brings together the guidance and support available.

We provide staff development sessions throughout the year which show how to make course areas, documents, 和媒体在MyAberdeen更容易获得.  Written guidance and supporting resources are also available on our “作者及创作者无障碍工具”.  

Course Accessibility Service

为支援教学人员及提高教学意识,网上教学小组推出了一套 Course Accessibility Service.  This service includes an audit of individual course areas on MyAberdeen and the generation of a detailed report highlighting digital accessibility issues found within the course.  除了审计和报告, the service also provides the time of an eLearning Support Assistant to make changes to learning materials in agreement with teaching staff with the aim of improving accessibility for users.

Common accessibility issues highlighted by the service are:

  • Tables without row headers
  • 文字颜色对比不足
  • 不是语义结构的内容
  • Videos without closed captions, transcripts or audio descriptions
  • 不能完全用键盘访问的区域
  • Many PowerPoint, PDF and Word documents are not compliant
  • Images without ALT tags
  • 某些表单可能无法正确标记和/或无法通过键盘访问
  • Handwritten lecture material

资助改善视频字幕

To further support schools make video more accessible, central funds are made available to each school allowing them to pay for Post Graduate Research Students to support the provision of good quality captions, 学者们无法做到的地方. 

Where the University is aware of a course with a student with a hearing impairment (or other identified need), the academic staff in the course are offered access to a centrally funded external service (Cielo24) by the eLearning Team to ensure that all videos in their course have good quality closed captions.  This inclusive approach ensures that all students on the course can benefit from the video captions.

Procedure for Procurement

In 2021, the eLearning team created a procedure for checking eLearning software for accessibility ahead of procurement to help ensure that new systems which are introduced are inclusive for all our users.  The eLearning team also feedback to software providers and encourage developers to make eLearning software accessible as part of that process.

Contact Information

If you are a student and wish to raise an issue or need information in a different format, 请在第一时间与您的课程协调员联系.  如果课程协调员无法解决此问题,请与电子学习团队联系 elearning@best-bvi.com or +44(0)1224 273765.

牙科和医疗虚拟学习环境

MyMBChB

MyMBChB, MyBDS and MyPA are in-house developed virtual learning environments used by the Medical School and built by the Learning Technologies team. We are continually improving the user experience for all users of the application and are applying the relevant accessibility standards throughout.

The environments are partially compliant with the WCAG 2.1 AA standard.

Non-accessible content

These environments may only be partially compliant with the standard due to the following:

  • Meaningless link text e.g. “click here”
  • 仅使用颜色作为区分因素的链接
  • Tables without row headers
  • Pages that don’t reflow when pinched or zoomed on mobile devices
  • 文字颜色对比不足
  • Lack of visual focus when using keyboard navigation
  • Videos without closed captions, transcripts, or audio descriptions
  • PowerPoint、PDF或Word文档中的教学资产可能存在访问问题

请注意,上面的列表并不详尽. 十大靠谱网投平台定期审核十大靠谱网投平台的网站,并在发现问题时予以解决. 对于新的视频资产,将使用自动字幕来提供字幕. 向工作人员提供了提供无障碍资产的文件和培训, 如本声明其他地方所述.

Occasionally the quality of unedited automatic captions for specialist terminology may be poor and academic staff may decide this is detrimental to students’ learning. In such cases automated captions may not be provided by default and accessible alternative materials will be provided while manual work takes place to provide accurate captioning.

不遵守的具体领域

MyMBChB的学生时间表不能使用屏幕阅读器有意义地阅读. However, an alternative accessible version is available via the ‘List View’ link which can be found in the timetable menu or from the tab button quick links.

If you cannot access parts of these environments or wish to report an accessibility problem

十大靠谱网投平台欢迎您对MyMBChB, MyBDS和MyPA的可访问性提供反馈. 如果你想提出问题, or need information in a different format such as an accessible PDF, large print, Easy Read, audio recording or braille, please contact the Learning Technologies team via email learning-technologies@best-bvi.com or phone +44(0) 1224 437032.

Integrations

MyMBChB, MyBDS and MyPA have integrations with the following systems:

The University is responsible for the accessibility of these systems. 如果您遇到问题,请发邮件给我 learning-technologies@best-bvi.com or phone +44(0)1224 437032.

图书馆,特别馆藏 & Museums Collections

图书馆,特别馆藏 & 博物馆(LSCM)为员工提供藏品, students and others which are primarily asset based (Word, PDF, PowerPoint and JPG files). 十大靠谱网投平台认为这些资产在很大程度上 法例第3 (2)(a)及3 (2)(f)条所述获豁免. However, it is our intent to make our collections as accessible as possible and therefore we note below issues of which we are aware and actions we are taking to address these.

如果您遇到下列集合的问题,请发送电子邮件 library@best-bvi.com 十大靠谱网投平台会尽力帮助你.

Exam Papers

LSCM make available to students a database of past exam papers. 这个数据库可以使用Library搜索界面进行查询, Primo,或按主题浏览. A proportion of exam papers available in the database don’t meet the accessibility standard, as they are published in earlier formats of Microsoft Word.

We'll ensure that future papers are made accessible via staff training as noted elsewhere in this statement.

Research Archive (香港仔大学研究档案 [AURA])

The University’s Research Archive is hosted by the University of Edinburgh using the open source solution, DSPace. 归档资产绝大多数是PDF资产(c. 11K) or Word docx files (c. 1.5K),以及少量其他格式,如PowerPoint、HTML和JPG. 其中许多资产将无法完全访问.

It is a current requirement of many research funders and the Research Excellence Framework that papers are submitted as PDF. We will ensure that future papers are made as accessible as possible via staff training as noted elsewhere in this statement. We are considering future use of the Open Document Format to increase the accessibility of this archive.

Theses

LSCM将研究论文在线提供. These may be in PDF, 各种版本的Word或其他资产类型, 包括废弃的文字处理文件. 其中许多资产将无法获得.

eBooks and Journals

At the time of writing, certain eBooks and journal articles available via our online library catalogue may not be accessible. 十大靠谱网投平台正在评估这个问题,如有必要将与第三方出版商合作.

We'll ensure that future theses are made as accessible as possible via appropriate training and support for students.

档案集合-镇静视图

We use Axiell’s CalmView5 方便查阅十大靠谱网投平台的档案. Axiell believe the CalmView product is compliant with the regulations, 除了嵌入的Instagram社交小工具, specifically:

  • Iframe内容缺少标题
  • social images lack ALT text

We don't have a workaround for these exceptions at present.

Research

Pure Research Portal

  • 纯研究门户的设计是反应灵敏,并在所有设备上工作良好.
  • Our software provider continues to work towards making the Pure Research Portal fully WCAG 2.1 AA compliant.
  • The current web accessibility statement can be read at http://abdn.elsevierpure.com/en/web-accessibility/

附录2 -具体的技术和内容问题

十大靠谱网投平台知道在十大靠谱网投平台的网站上可能出现的特定问题,可访问性问题, or for which there is no straightforward resolution.

Google Search

十大靠谱网投平台使用谷歌服务为十大靠谱网投平台网站的部分内容提供搜索功能. We don’t have control over the code used in these results and this may occasionally cause issues. For example, 在谷歌的自定义搜索结果中返回的图像没有替代文本属性. Google commit to making accessibility a core part of their products 通常情况下,问题会很快得到解决.

iFrames

十大靠谱网投平台知道有些浏览器允许iFrame元素接收焦点, 但不要让这种专注被塑造出来, 所以对于一些用户来说, focus may be lost briefly when entering an iFrame element. 这在Firefox中最为显著.

Generic Link Text

We try to make all link text meaningful; however, parts of our site intentionally use generic link text; for example, "Find out more". We believe that where such link text is used the linked resource is unequivocally inferred from its surrounding context; for example, 十大靠谱网投平台十大外围app报道的进一步信息.

Link Syntax

We’re aware that occasionally the same link text is used for links going to apparently different resources; for example, “十大靠谱网投平台”一词出现在页面内容中, menu bar and site breadcrumb is variously linked to:

These links appear to be different, but are the same resource. 十大靠谱网投平台努力标准化链接url,以避免这种误报错误, but this is not always possible due to how pages are rendered by the server and the CMS database.

GeckoEngage

十大靠谱网投平台使用的表单构建器解决方案 GeckoEngage. We’ve reviewed this for accessibility and found minor issues which we have reported to the supplier (for example, 嵌入式表单没有标题). 供应商已经评估了这些问题,并正在安排工作来解决这些问题. 十大靠谱网投平台将继续与供应商沟通.

Panopto

We use Panopto 在十大靠谱网投平台的网站上. Currently there is an issue where Panopto videos embedded in an iFrame display an element without a text alternative. 十大靠谱网投平台已经向Panopto提出了这个问题,他们向十大靠谱网投平台保证会解决这个问题.
