Ethics Builder Accessibility Statement

Last updated September 2026

Merit Leadership wants every student and instructor to be able to use Ethics Builder. Our goal is to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA.

What we have done

  • Pages are built from standard web controls (headings, links, buttons, and form fields) that screen readers and other assistive technology can read.
  • Sign-in works without a password, using an emailed link or a six-digit code — no password to remember or type.
  • Activities can be completed with a keyboard. Matching questions use standard dropdowns, and drag-and-drop questions support keyboard control.
  • Every page has a “Skip to main content” link for keyboard users, and a visible focus outline on interactive elements.

Known limitations

We have not yet completed a formal accessibility audit. These are the gaps we know about:

  • Video captions. Some course videos, including videos we host ourselves, do not have captions or transcripts yet.
  • Imported files. Some slide decks and PDFs carried over from the previous course platform may not be fully accessible to screen readers.
  • Images. Some images carried over from the previous platform have short or generic descriptions.

We are working through these. If one of them affects you, contact us and we will provide the material in another format.
