This accessibility statement applies to the Moodle 5 service in Satakunta University of Applied Sciences, and it was created on 14th April 2026. Accessibility statement has been updated 14.4.2026.

Accessibility

Accessibility means that as many people as possible can use digital services easily and equally. An accessible service must be technically accessible, have a clear user interface and the content must be understandable. The accessibility requirements are based on the Act on the Provision of Digital Services, which is in turn based on the EU Accessibility Directive.

The accessibility of the Moodle was assessed internally. Accessibility assessment is continuously carried out as the Moodle learning environment is developed.

Service Accessibility Status

This website partially meets the requirements of the Act on the Provision of Digital Services (WCAG 2.1 Levels A and AA).

The accessibility of the service has been assessed:

  • as a self-assessment
  • using automated testing tools (Lighthouse)
  • with manual review (keyboard use and screen reader)
