Scope of this accessibility statement:
The following statements refer to the OPAL learning platform and ONYX Testsuite, not to the content posted by users. The persons who provide the content (e.g. documents or courses) in the learning management system are responsible for creating and maintaining the content in an accessible way.
The standards for accessibility are the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2) at conformance level AA and the European standard EN 301 549, version 3.1.1.
The OPAL learning platform and the ONYX test suite are partially compliant with the above mentioned legal requirements due to the following incompatibilities. The incompatibilities are listed below under "Non-accessible content".
We are constantly working to ensure that we continue to meet these standards and that this can be verified through independent testing.
Teaching and learning content are subject to self-assessment on the basis of centrally provided instructions, checklists and training courses at Chemnitz University of Technology.
The content listed on the "Accessibility" manual page is not fully accessible.
Subtitles or audio description are currently not always available for embedded videos.
Not all included documents are available in a barrier-free form.
This statement was issued on 11/03/2021 and last updated on 24/01/2024.
We determine the status of accessibility on a regular basis through our own audit. The last audit was conducted in 2023 in cooperation with TU Dresden.
