ADA Compliance in Indiana Online Courses
As Indiana Online content is developed and revised, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 are implemented and content is reviewed under Specific Review Standard 7.4 T of the Quality Matters K–12 Rubric. Indiana Online conducts routine automated and human checks of content and is implementing WCAG 2.1 guidelines as part of the course development process.
Indiana Online content is developed to be accessible for individuals with a variety of disabilities and is compatible with most assistive technologies, such as screen reader software and closed captioning.
Students who are enrolled in and attending an Indiana public school may enroll in a Indiana Online course with prior approval of the school of record and must be enrolled by a school of record counselor or other school-assigned designee. The school of record agrees to provide all appropriate services to students enrolled in Indiana Online courses, including those with documented disabilities. The school of record agrees to provide a school of record counselor, a local mentor, all student services, and all counseling services for each student enrolled in a Indiana Online course. Indiana Online does not assume the school of record responsibility to provide Section 504, IEP, or other documented services for students enrolled in Indiana Online courses. The school of record may require the student’s school of record mentor to have an appropriate certified endorsement to provide any documented student services.
In the Indiana Online registration process, school counselors are asked to identify qualified students with documented disabilities in the Indiana Online Student Information System (SIS) by indicating if the student has a Section 504, IEP, or other documented services. For students with Section 504, IEP, or other documented services, the school counselor and local mentor must develop a plan for the school of record to address the documented student services and share any appropriate accommodations needed in the Indiana Online learning management system prior to the course start date. School of record counselors and mentors are required to provide all students with services to ensure student success in the Indiana Online course. In the event of any complaint, the school of record will assume the recipient’s responsibilities.
