Section 508 Compliance

 In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require call government agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. As these guidelines affect all aspects of content and information technology, it naturally affects Ninth House blended learning solutions as well. Inaccessible technology interferes with an individual's ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. As such, Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals.

Ninth House is pleased to be compliant with Section 508 of the American Rehabilitation Act to assist individuals with disabilities. For more information on Section 508 Compliance for learning, please visit: http://www.section508.gov/

 

Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM)

Developed in direct response to a United States Department of Defense (DoD) initiative to promote standardization in eLearning, SCORM is an XML-based framework used to define and access information about learning objects so they can be easily shared among different learning management systems (LMS).

Ninth House is proud of its compliance with SCORM. For more information or technical specifications, please contact a Ninth House Government Learning Professional.
