Accessibility Design GuidelinesMain header graphic

The aim of an accessible website or online course is to be understood by everyone regardless of any disability they may have or the browser or assistive technology they are using. EDTeC has produced a set of guidelines to help non-technical online course designers to ensure that their courses meet the minimum standards to be accessible to the whole UNSW community. These guidelines are based on those produced by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), accepted worldwide as the standard.
