Accessibility and usability barriers 

The following information is provided to help people with disabilities know what potential barriers may exist and to help people who support them.

Screen reader barriers may limit access for people who are blind, have low vision, or have a learning disability

The main navigation has broken ARIA references. Some menus are not available via screen reader. Some courses lack alternative text or have skipped headings. The home page has a carousel that lacks appropriate context or specific descriptions of buttons and navigation for a screen reader user to use well. There are missing form labels, which rely only on placeholder text.

Keyboard navigation barriers may limit access for people with motor disabilities

Some hidden content receives keyboard focus. Some keyboard focus indicators are missing a left or right side.
