Accessibility

Alternative Texts for non text elements

The programme uses various graphical elements to support the text content and provide navigation. These include static images as well as Flash based activities.

All non-text elements have been assigned an alternative text property, enabling screen readers to describe the particular object. All Flash based objects also contain an alternative text description.

Tab key navigation

All menus and objects on the pages of the programme can be navigated to using the Tab key. When an object is in focus, a small border will be visible around the object. Pressing the Enter key will activate the object.
