Accessibility knowledge can be hard to come by. What’s out there on the internet often has plenty of shortcomings. And professional training can be hard to afford, hard to schedule, and isn’t always specific to your job.
That’s why, today, in partnership with our good friends at Knowbility, we’ve launched Evinced Learn.
It’s our comprehensive new training platform designed to bridge the gap between accessibility theory and real-world execution. Between what’s out there, and what you need.
And we’re happy to say that it’s completely free, so that everybody can take advantage of it.
What’s available today
- Anytime, anywhere access. If you’ve got a browser and internet access, you can use Evinced Learn. We’ve also worked really hard to make sure it works with assistive technologies, so it’s physically accessible, digitally accessible, and financially accessible, too.
- Role-based tracks. Whether you are a designer mapping out user flows or a developer pushing code to production, the skills required to build inclusive websites and mobile apps are unique to your role. That’s why we’ve built a curriculum that helps you master it within your specific workflows. Just choose the path that fits your role within your organization. No need to sift through content that doesn’t apply to you.
- Test-out option. Already an accessibility pro? Take the pre-test within each course. If you can demonstrate your mastery of the material, you meet the course objectives and can continue to take the course or use the modules as a resource any time you need.
- Seamless integration with Learning Management Systems (“LMS”). For our enterprise customers, we offer SCORM 1.2 packages. You can host our world-class training directly within your own internal LMS so you can track completion of the training across your employee directory.
- IAAP continuing education credits. If you have a CPACC, WAS, or CPWA certification from the IAAP, Evinced Learn courses provide a certificate with Education Credits to help you qualify for renewal.
