Summary

GitHub Education is committed to making its Global Campus platform more inclusive by enhancing accessibility in alignment with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The initiative involved an audit by GitHub's Accessibility team, which includes testers experienced with assistive technologies, to identify and remove barriers for users. Key improvements have been implemented, such as refining HTML structures for better content hierarchy, ensuring correct use of links and buttons, and integrating semantic tags for easier navigation. The platform now incorporates more components from Primer, GitHub's open-source design system, to align with GitHub's overall accessibility standards. These efforts are just the beginning, with future developments including automated accessibility checks and ongoing collaboration with the Accessibility team to further improve the platform. Users are encouraged to provide feedback and can participate in open-source projects to contribute to these accessibility enhancements.
