Accessibilitystatement

This accessibility policy applies to CSC – IT Center for Science Ltd. online learning platform e-Learn system. 

This policy has been published 8.1.2026.

Accessibility

Accessibility means that the online service is designed to be used by everyone. Accessibility refers to non-hindered access to the online world. Accessibility means that as many different people as possible are able to easily use the online service.

An accessible online service is technically flawless, it has a clear user interface and its content is understandable.

Web Accessibility Directive

This website is subject to the Digital Services Act, which states that public online services must be accessible. This means that the web service must meet the requirements of levels A and AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

The Web Accessibility Directive, which came into force in 2019, regulates that the websites and mobile services of the public sector must be accessible. The Act also applies to public companies operating in water and energy management as well as traffic and postal services’ sectors, and operators in the financial sector. The Act will also apply to organisations that receive more than half of their funding from public entities.

The application of the accessibility requirements was initiated in stages and conformity is supervised in Finland by the Finnish Transport and Communication Agency. The legal requirements and relevant guidelines shall be published on the saavutettavuusvaatimukset.fi (www.webaccessibility.fi/) website.

Accessibility of the website

Maisteri LMS online learning environment is based on the open-source Moodle platform. Maisteri LMS learning environment aims to meet levels A-AA of the WCAG 2.2 criteria. WCAG 2.2 includes all requirements from the earlier 2.1 version, so the service also meets the statutory WCAG 2.1 criteria.

The website partially meets the requirements, and it has the following shortcomings:

  • 1.4.4 Resize Text (Level AA): Text in H5P application paragraph content blocks cannot be enlarged.
  • The Analytics Charts block does not meet the following criteria: 2.4.2 Page Titled (Level A), 3.1.1 Language of Page (Level A), and 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A). The block's pages lack a title, language definition, and accessible names for selection buttons.

Assessment methods

Mediamaisteri Oy has assessed the accessibility of this website as a self-assessment carried out in cooperation with the company or organisation.

Technical implementation

Maisteri LMS online learning environment is based on the open-source Moodle platform. Moodle is designed to offer all people similar functionalities and the same data. This means that despite a person’s limitations, assistive software, monitor sizes or various terminal devices (e.g. mouse, keyboard or touchscreen), there should be no limitation to the use of the online service.

The website has been designed to be compatible with the following browsers:

  • Edge
  • Firefox
  • Chrome
  • Safari

The accessibility of the website depends on the functionality of the following technologies:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • Javascript
