The following responses will not be given a point value; however, responses are required.

What is the name of the edtech product? What is the URL of the product’s website?

• If the product has a ULTID, please share it. Please note that an application may be submitted on behalf of only one product. For the purpose of this certification, a ULTID denotes a single product. Multiple ULTIDs denote multiple products, and therefore multiple applications are required.
• What product version is being assessed in this application, and what was its release date?
• Which operating system(s) and/or platform(s) are required for compatibility?

If this product is awarded the certification, do we have the product team’s permission to share its award status with partners that host product indexes, such as ISTE’s EdSurge Product Index and other similar partners where relevant? Please respond with a yes or no.

What general company email can we use to communicate about certification status after a decision has been made? Note: If earned, the Open Badge is associated with the email address used to submit the application and is non-transferable. It is important to ensure long-term access by using a stable company address (e.g. research@product.com), rather than an individual’s, to create an account and submit this application.

Who was involved in completing this application? Please include names, roles, and email addresses. [Note: It is critical that members of the team who were directly involved in making the product design decisions are involved in completing this application.]

Tell us about your product: What learning or challenge does the product intend to address? How many users does the product serve? Who is the intended audience for the product (e.g., learners or educators, grade or learner levels)? Which subject area(s) does the product cover?

The following responses will be assessed to inform the certification results.

Accessibility Baseline

The UDL Product Certification treats accessibility as a “baseline” for entering the UDL Product Certification process (refer to the WCAG and Accessibility links in the Resources section). Accessibility is a foundational component of UDL; at a minimum, the users must have access to content and instruction. However, UDL is much more than accessibility. The UDL Product Certification criteria emphasize how UDL goes beyond physical accessibility and moves into supporting learner variability. Products must ensure that they meet the accessibility baseline criteria before investing time on reporting the more comprehensive alignment to UDL.

The binary status of the accessibility baseline is represented directly below. A given product is either Pre-Baseline (not fully conformant to accessibility transparency) or At Baseline (meets the established accessibility transparency criteria). The product must publicly share its accessibility statement and conformance report based on the WCAG 2.1 or later criteria.

A product qualified as Pre-Baseline (not fully conformant to accessibility transparency) cannot receive any level of the UDL Product Certifications.

Pre-Baseline: The product has not met the accessibility baseline criteria as outlined below.

Baseline: To meet the basic qualifications for the accessibility Baseline, the product team must provide evidence for all the following criteria:

1. Public Accessibility Statement

   • A public accessibility statement exists specifically for the product, not just the website that explains the product.
   • The public accessibility statement is easy for customers to find.
   • The public accessibility statement includes an email address that’s easy to find for reporting accessibility challenges.
   • The person(s) responding to email inquiries is qualified to address accessibility issues and interoperability with assistive technologies.

2. Current Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). The product team has provided a current ACR, using a VPAT® from ITI templates, found in the Resources section above (where “current” is qualified as prepared within the past 12 months using one of the two latest VPAT® versions available). The ACR must include the following:

   • All WCAG 2.1 or later criteria marked as “Not Applicable” have complete explanations of why the “Not Applicable” designation is appropriate.
   • All WCAG 2.1 or later criteria marked as “Partially Supports” have complete explanations of why the “Partially Supports” designation applies, including a statement for plans and a timeline for when the product team intends to bring it into full conformance.
   • Full detailing of the “Evaluation Methods Used” for the conformance evaluation, including evidence of manual testing to document findings in addition to automated testing for conformance.
   • ACR, using a VPAT®, is publicly available and easy for customers to find.
   • For customers who have questions about the ACR (VPAT®), the product team has clearly documented who can answer questions and provide clarification for customers.

3. User-Informed Accessibility Design. The product team has provided evidence of responding to target user input with regard to accessibility design decisions. (See “Real-World Design Input References” in the Resources section.)
