WCAG 2.2 Report
Revised Section 508 Report
EN 301 549 Report

We want to empower all learners to have accessible, compelling, and enjoyable e-learning experiences. With that goal in mind, we built Reach 360 to support Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), as described in this report. We continue to refine Reach 360 so the learner experience goes beyond technical conformance with these guidelines to become truly accessible to everyone. Keep an eye on our Feature Roadmap and our What’s New page for all the latest enhancements.

This is a living document. We update it as enhancements are developed and new issues come to light. If you discover an accessibility issue, please let us know. We're on this journey together.
