Status of compliance with requirements
This website is partially compliant with compliance level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - WCAG 2.1.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is only partially accessible or not accessible for the following reasons:
- Videos: Since linked videos are mostly hosted on the video platform Youtube or TUbe, it is currently not possible to provide audio descriptions for these videos.
- Documents: Some documents, such as the author's guide in PDF format, are not yet accessible. For resource reasons, there is currently no accessible alternative to the PDF files of the English TELucation articles, but the articles can be read online as an accessible version.
- Color contrast: Deviations from the required color contrast cannot be ruled out for logos or in exceptional cases for colored boxes with text content.
- Navigation with keyboard: The page is in principle navigable by keyboard, but the current position is not always highlighted.
- Heading formats: Some of the headings in the category overview are tagged as h3 instead of h1. This is a bug that is being worked on to fix.
