This is an accessibility statement from the Association of College and Research Libraries for the Threshold Achievement Test for Information Literacy (TATIL).
Conformance status
ACRL worked with ALA’s accessibility partner Access Living to assess the four TATIL modules to ensure they are accessible using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. Additionally, staff work with our partner, Community Attributes Inc., to make regular improvements to ensure that the toolkit is technically accessible to both library managers and student test takers.
While these types of technical improvements can benefit many accessibility needs, many of the improvements were chosen to make the TATIL modules easier to complete with a screen reader.
Some examples of accessibility considerations include: consistent navigation and heading structure, clearly labeled controls and graphics, including keyboard support for all questions, removed sensory specific language in test items to ensure all users can complete questions, and updated question response types (drag and drop, highlight specific passage, etc.) to conform with screen reader standards.
Limitations and alternatives
Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of TATIL, there may be some barriers encountered when using assistive technology.
