海角论坛 is committed to providing equal access to university information by ensuring our digital content is accessible by everyone regardless of physical, sensory or cognitive ability.
What is accessible content and assistive technology?
Accessible electronic and information technology are websites, documents, and digital materials that can be utilized by people with a wide range of abilities and disabilities. When materials have been developed to incorporate the principles of universal design, all users are able to interact with the technology in the ways that work best for them. Accessible content may be usable without assistive technology or may be compatible with standard assistive technology. Braille displays, audio interfaces, screen readers, and mobile phones are all examples of assistive technology. When documents are formatted according to existing accessibility standards assistive technology can manipulate and display the materials for the user.
