Accessibility Statement

Last updated: August 24, 2025

Bagoxoi is committed to ensuring that our online platform and educational content are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to quality science journalism education, and we continuously work to improve the accessibility of our digital services.

Our Commitment

We strive to meet recognized international accessibility standards and guidelines to ensure our platform is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users. Our goal is to provide an inclusive learning experience that accommodates a wide range of abilities, devices, and assistive technologies.

Applicable Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines are developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and represent the current internationally recognized benchmark for web accessibility.

Accessibility Features

Navigation and Structure

Our platform is designed with clear, consistent navigation to help all users move through content efficiently. Pages use a logical heading hierarchy so that users relying on screen readers or keyboard navigation can understand and traverse content without difficulty.

Text and Readability

We maintain sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background elements to support users with low vision or color blindness. Text can be resized using standard browser controls without loss of content or functionality. We avoid using color alone to convey meaning.

Images and Media

Meaningful images are provided with descriptive alternative text. Decorative images are marked appropriately so they are ignored by assistive technologies. Where video or audio content is included, we aim to provide captions, transcripts, or equivalent alternatives.

Keyboard Accessibility

All interactive elements, including navigation menus, forms, and course controls, are accessible via keyboard without requiring the use of a mouse. Focus indicators are visible so keyboard users can track their position within the page.

Forms and Interactive Elements

Form fields are clearly labeled, and error messages are descriptive and easy to understand. Required fields are identified, and instructions are provided where input formats are expected.

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our platform is developed to be compatible with commonly used screen readers and other assistive technologies. We use semantic HTML and ARIA attributes where appropriate to enhance compatibility with these tools.

Known Limitations

While we work diligently toward full accessibility compliance, some areas of our platform may not yet meet all accessibility standards. These may include certain third-party content, embedded tools, or legacy sections of the site that are currently under review. We are actively working to identify and resolve these gaps.

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our platform using both automated testing tools and manual evaluation methods. Feedback from our users plays an important role in helping us identify areas for improvement. We include accessibility considerations in our development and content creation workflows.

Third-Party Content

Our platform may include content or tools provided by third parties. While we make reasonable efforts to work with accessible third-party providers, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of all external content. If you encounter an accessibility barrier related to third-party content, we encourage you to contact us so we can explore available alternatives.

Requesting Accessible Formats

If you require course materials, documentation, or other content in an alternative format, please contact us. We will make reasonable efforts to provide accessible alternatives in a timely manner.

Feedback and Contact

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our platform. If you experience any barriers while using our services, or if you have suggestions for improvement, please reach out to us:

We aim to respond to accessibility-related inquiries within 5 business days. Where a request requires additional time to fulfill, we will acknowledge receipt promptly and provide an estimated timeline.

Enforcement and Escalation

If you are not satisfied with our response to an accessibility concern, you may have the right to escalate the matter to a relevant regulatory body or accessibility authority in your region. We encourage users to contact us first so we have the opportunity to address concerns directly.

Review of This Statement

This accessibility statement is reviewed and updated on a regular basis to reflect changes to our platform and improvements in our accessibility practices. We are committed to transparency and will document significant updates as they occur.
