Pasco eSchool is committed to providing a course that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our courses, and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.

This website endeavors to conform to level Double-A of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user-friendly for all people. This course has been built using code compliant with W3C standards for HTML and CSS. The course displays correctly in current browsers and using standards-compliant HTML/CSS code means any future browsers will also display it correctly.

While Pasco eSchool strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the course. We are continually seeking solutions that will bring all areas of the course up to the same level of overall web accessibility. In the meantime should you experience any difficulty accessing the course, please don’t hesitate to contact your teacher. Your instructor’s contact information is available on the homepage of this course.
