Wayside Publishing Commitment to Accessibility — Wayside Publishing is committed to building digital solutions and providing products that are accessible to all users.

We believe all educators and learners should be able to access and use our textbook and digital offerings, Learning Site® application, and company website.

Our Commitment

We are committed to making this website and Learning Site® usable by all people, including those with disabilities by meeting or exceeding the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 Level A/AA (WCAG 2.1 A/AA). We strive to make our sites an equal experience for everyone. As of a January, 2024 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) assessment, Wayside Learning Site® has been verified as being in conformance with WCAG 2.1 A/AA. The full VPAT findings are available upon request at [email protected].

Learning Site has a built-in media player with captioning available for videos.

Our Initiatives

Some of our specific initiatives include, but are not limited to the following:

  1. Creation of Accessible Products: Wayside Publishing is using the guidelines above to create user-friendly digital products that are accessible to all audiences.
  2. Creation of Accessible Content: Wayside Publishing has established a Diversity and Inclusion Rubric used in the development of all our titles, which aims to ensure that the authentic native speaker materials and resources and all other print and digital resources in all of our programs allow learners to feel comfortable and motivated. We strive to present the content in legible, easy-to-use formats catering to the needs of as many learners and instructors as we can reach.
