Accessibility Statement for Learning Pool LXP – US

Learning Pool is committed to ensuring the digital accessibility of our LXP for all users. We strive to continually improve the user experience for everyone by meeting the WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.

  • Our Approach to Accessibility

    Learning Pool considers accessibility throughout all phases of our product development cycle, from research and design through development and QA. We believe that designing to benefit people with disabilities creates products that better serve all users.

    We work hard to meet level AA of the WCAG 2.1 standards through a combination of research, implementation techniques, tools, and testing.

We build accessibility standards into all the components of our design system to deliver an inclusive experience across products.

     

    Conformance Status

    While we are continuously working to improve the usability of our products, Learning Pool LXP is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA standards. This means that some parts of the platform do not fully conform to the accessibility standards.
