+ The UCF Center for Distributed Learning is committed to ensuring federal and institutional accessibility standards are met or exceeded with Materia
+ and its ecosystem of widgets. As a product of UCF, Materia is obligated to adhere to UCF's Digital Accessibility Policy.

+
+
Accessibility Standards and Compliance
+
+ Materia widgets are often highly interactive, gamified experiences that exceed the characteristics of traditional web documents.
+ While we strive to ensure adherence to WCAG 2.0 AA standards wherever possible, certain widgets may not be fully capable of supporting those standards.
+ Widgets are proactively labeled based on their level of support for two major elements of WCAG 2.0 AA standards compliance: keyboard navigation and screen reader support.
+
+ Materia and its widgets strive to adhere to the following accessibility guidelines:
+
+
+
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA
