What is VPAT?
A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is a document that explains how information and communication technology products such as software, hardware, electronic content, and support documentation meet accessibility standards. These standards ensure that products are accessible to individuals with disabilities, complying with regulations like Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Why is VPAT Important?
Accessibility is crucial in higher education to ensure that all students, regardless of their abilities, can access educational resources and tools. A VPAT provides transparency about the accessibility features of a product, helping institutions make informed decisions when selecting tools and technologies. It demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and compliance with legal requirements.
