Accessibility

1.Our standard

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA across the Learnix website and app, and we are working toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA. WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard public schools and districts in the United States are expected to meet.

2.Current status

Learnix partially conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That means most of Learnix meets the standard, and a few parts don’t yet; they are listed under Known limitations.

Our Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT® 2.5, WCAG edition) gives a criterion-by-criterion account. To get a copy, use our contact page or email support@learnix.academy.

3.What’s built in

• Keyboard access. Everything, including lessons, the code editor, quizzes, and the teacher gradebook, can be used without a mouse. A visible focus outline always shows where you are.
• Skip link. Press Tab on any page to reveal “Skip to main content”.
• Screen readers. Pages use headings, landmarks, and labelled form fields. Program output and notifications are announced when they appear.
• Readable contrast in both the dark and the light theme.
• Reduced motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, Learnix turns off its animations. The testimonial carousel on our home page also has a Pause button.
• Zoom and resize. Text can be enlarged to 200% or more, and pages reflow to a single column on small screens without scrolling sideways.
• Page titles that name the lesson or tool you are on.
• No audio or video is required to complete any lesson.

4.Using the code editor with a keyboard or screen reader

• Tab inserts a tab inside the code editor, as it does in professional editors. To move focus out of the editor with Tab instead, press Ctrl+M (on a Mac, Ctrl+Shift+M). Press it again to switch back.
• The editor is announced as a code editor, and these instructions are read when it receives focus.
• When you run your code, the program output is announced. You can also Tab to the output and read it line by line.

5.Known limitations

• Timed tests. When a teacher gives a test a time limit, the limit applies to the whole class; there is not yet a way to give one student extra time. A teacher can change or remove the time limit for an assignment. If you need more time, ask your teacher.
• Home page animation. The animated background on the home page has no on-page pause control. It does not run if your device is set to reduce motion.
• Screen reader testing. Our evaluation so far used automated tools, keyboard testing, and a review of the markup. Hands-on testing with screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver) is next; we will update this page and our report when it is done.
• Generated teaching materials. Downloadable slides, worksheets, and PDFs that teachers generate have not yet been evaluated for accessibility. If you need one in another format, contact us.
• Security check. Some forms use Cloudflare’s verification check, which is designed to be accessible and usually needs no interaction. If it ever blocks you, email support@learnix.academy instead.

6.Report a barrier or ask for another format

If something on Learnix is hard or impossible for you to use, please tell us. Use our contact form or email support@learnix.academy, say what you were trying to do and on which page, and mention any assistive technology you use. We typically respond within 1–2 business days. We can also provide lesson content in another format on request.

7.How we assess accessibility

Learnix assesses itself. Our most recent evaluation, in October 2026, used:

• automated testing with axe-core 4.10 against WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 Level A and AA rules, across our public pages and the signed-in app for both students and teachers;
• manual keyboard testing of key tasks: signing in, moving through a lesson, writing code and leaving the code editor, and filling in a support request, checking that focus stays visible and in a logical order;
• a check that every page reflows without loss of content at a width of 320 CSS pixels (equivalent to 400% zoom);
• a review of the markup for labels, headings, landmarks, and status messages.

Learnix is built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and WAI-ARIA, and is tested in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
