Accessibility Statement

The oerhub.at project team at the University of Vienna strives to make their websites accessible in accordance with the Web Accessibility Act (WZG) to implement Directive 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 26, 2016 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies (Official Journal L 327 of December 2, 2016, p. 1).

This accessibility statement applies to the website oerhub.at and portal.openeducation.at.

Status of compliance with the requirements

The websites are partially compliant with the guidelines for accessible web content due to the incompatibilities and exceptions explained below.
We plan to gradually address these accessibility issues.

The underlying criteria are based on WCAG 2.1 Conformance Level AA or the European Standard EN 301 549 V3.1.2 (PDF).
Point 9.6 WCAG Conformance Requirements of EN 301 549 is not met, as WCAG 2.1 Level AA is only partially met.
