Our Commitment: Welcome to Physics Class. We are dedicated to ensuring that our educational content is accessible to all learners, including those with visual, hearing, motor, or cognitive disabilities. We have designed this website in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Mayer’s Principles of Multimedia Learning.
Accessibility Features: Here are the specific tools we have implemented to support your learning:
Screen Reader Compatibility: All images, diagrams, and navigation buttons include descriptive "Alt Text" for students using screen readers.
Video Accessibility: The Video Module includes a full-text transcript for students who are deaf or prefer reading to watching.
Visual Clarity: We use high-contrast color combinations (Navy Blue & White) to ensure text is readable for students with low vision.
Cognitive Load Management: Lessons are segmented into manageable steps (Explore, Explain, Evaluate) to support focus and memory.
Keyboard Navigation: The website and the Virtual Lab simulation can be navigated using only a keyboard (Tab/Enter keys) for students with motor impairments.
Technology Used This site incorporates the PhET Interactive Simulations (University of Colorado Boulder), which are designed to be accessible and open-source.
Feedback: We are continuously learning and improving. If you encounter any barriers while using this website, please let us know so we can fix them.
