Directive (EU) 2016/2102 on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies establishes the following implementation dates for accessibility guidelines:

• September 23, 2019: All new websites
• September 23, 2020: Remaining websites
• June 6, 2021: All mobile apps

Nowadays, any reasonably modern LMS is accessible. But what do we gain in terms of accessibility if the heart of a training course—the documents and materials—is not?

Does our material comply with accessibility directives? Bear in mind that this is not a whim, but a necessity and a right for those students who need it, whether they say so or not. Many students do not say anything out of embarrassment or because they do not want to be labeled as different...

Let’s look at some examples:

• Do all our images have alternative text describing them?
• Are our PDFs properly structured and tagged?
• Is there sufficient contrast between the text and the background?

These are just a few simple examples of very common errors. The full standard (WCAG 2.1, specifically Level AA) lists everything necessary to make our content accessible. You can consult it here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/es
