The objective of the project was to perform a web accessibility compliance analysis of specified product paths and pages in the LON-CAPA application against Section 508 requirements and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (Priority 1, 2 and 3), and provide recommendations for enhancing its user interface for accessibility. The evaluation of the LON-CAPA application covered the Course Coordinator Interface pages including the main menu, navigate contents, course documents, resource page, PARM, PARM table mode, and PGRD (7 pages), as specified by the report authors via their experience working with the LON-CAPA Support Coordinator on a usability evaluation of the system interface. While the application does have the option for users to access an alternative interface for greater accessibility, many of the issues discussed in the report apply to both interfaces. Also, the options available for accessibility, such as the suppression of images, the suppression of java applets, the suppression of embedded multimedia, and the black and white contrast mode, can be achieved through following accessibility best practices in one integrated site. The issues we discuss are based on the standard interface, which regardless of the presence of an accessible alternative, should also be made as accessible as possible. Further, we recommend that the application achieve accessibility through one interface
