Accessibility statement
At WatSPEED, it is our goal to provide lifelong learning that meets the needs of all our online learners. This includes providing content that is accessible to learners with disabilities and diverse learning needs.
Our ongoing efforts to become aligned with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) are guided by University of Waterloo accessibility legislation and policy and the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
The majority of our online courses are currently delivered via the Desire2Learn Learning Environment or Ed2Go. Learn more at Desire2Learn Accessibility and Ed2Go Accessibility.
