One-to-many accessibility questions

Hello,

I represent a non-profit organization that produces social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum for thousands of schools across the United States and around the world. We’ve recently formed a group to identify any accessibility shortcomings in our products ahead of the 508/255 refresh deadline next January.

The curriculum we produce is designed to be hosted by teachers in a one-to-many setting. Content is displayed on a classroom screen using a media projector, and the dynamic between student and screen is passive. Students interact with their teacher, but they do not directly interact with on-screen content. As such, guidelines developed for screen readers, for instance, do not seem to be applicable. Using another example, color contrast rules defined in WCAG 2.0 are difficult if not impossible to anticipate for classroom projectors and lighting environments. This one-to-many context varies significantly from the one-to-one experience that WCAG 2.0 criteria appears to be based upon, but we want to make sure that we exercise due diligence and meet all relevant criteria.

I have a basic understanding of WCAG criteria, but having a hard time finding resources that address our particular situation. Any suggestions or direction would be much appreciated.


Best,


Steven Henry
