Accessibility statement for Articulate, Rise 360

Articulate 360 accessibility statement in line with Public Sector Body (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018
 
This accessibility statement applies to: https://learn.thedatalab.com/login
 
This website is run by The Data Lab at the University of Edinburgh using a third party piece of software Articulate. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this application. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • Using browser settings to change most colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • Use the website without encountering any time limits
  • All audio-visual content has human corrected captions and transcripts

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. However, some of our content is technical, and we use technical terms where there is no easier wording we could use without changing what the text means.

Customising the website


AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability. This is an external site with suggestions to make your computer more accessible:
