Author, manage, track, and deliver Section 508-compliant eLearning out-of-the-box!

Section 508 Compliance for eLearning Should Not Be Difficult.

Unfortunately, thousands of pages of inaccessible eLearning are produced every day. Imagine…

• ​Being asked to “click here to continue” – but you don’t have a mouse.
• Asked to watch a video – but your speakers do not work.
• Taking an exam – but you are unable to select any of the answers
• Having to click 20 times to proceed to the next page.

Many eLearning developers are completely unaware they are causing this frustration, and many authoring tools make it all but impossible to remedy without expensive retrofitted remediation.

Are you a Section 508 Compliance Expert?

If not, then you know that achieving Section 508-compliance for eLearning is difficult. The sheer number of technology layers that must work together is significant. An assistive technology layer (screen readers, for example) adds an entirely new dimension to an already complex landscape. Limitations are imposed on creativity and design when the intricacies of programming the technology for use with assistive technology is required by those unfamiliar with this ever-changing technology.

You don’t need to be an expert because ​CourseAvenue delivers Section 508-compliant elearning content – right out of the box!

With CourseAvenue Studio, accessibility is built into every course, by default.

What is CourseAvenue?

CourseAvenue is an easy-to-use elearning authoring platform that helps subject matter experts (with no instructional design experience) quickly transform their raw content (PDFs, PPTs, .Doc) into instructionally sound, visually appealing, and Section 508 accessible courseware 10 to 100X faster.

When you create an elearning course, CourseAvenue makes sure that:​

• The person who does not use a mouse can use a keyboard or their voice command software to “continue”

• The video will be closed-captioned, the complete transcript will be there to read, and if needed, the video will be audio-described

• The answers to the exam questions will be easy to select

• The “next button” will  be accessible quickly and consistently

Every course created with CourseAvenue meets Section 508/WCAG standards without requiring the author to be an expert in accessibility. In fact, if a course created with CourseAvenue fails a Section 508 review, the CourseAvenue support team works with you, the author, and the reviewer to resolve the issues – at no extra cost – eliminating the need for expensive remediation.

CourseAvenue is dedicated to enabling large-scale production of Accessible eLearning.* Need proof?

Over the last 10 years, the USDA has published over a million pages of Section 508 and SCORM conformant e-learning titles.

The vast majority of the courses were developed by USDA personnel, most of whom had never created e-learning before.
