WCAG 2.2 AA as a production constraint

What this lesson covers

  1. 01

    Accessibility is on the storyboard, not a patch

    WCAG 2.2 became a W3C Recommendation on 5 October 2023. Level AA is the usual contractual target for public eLearning. New 2.2 criteria include accessible authentication (no memory puzzles that block password managers) and dragging: a dragging movement must have a single-pointer alternative. That is why this academy’s drag activities also work by tap-to-select then tap-to-place.

  2. 02

    We apply this to ourselves

    HTML5 drag-and-drop is unreliable on many touch devices. Every drag slide in this academy keeps a click/tap path. That is a 2.2-informed production rule, not a nice-to-have.
