Sakai (www.sakailms.org) is a leading open source Learning Management System used around the world. For a LMS, digital accessibility is doubly important because it can block a student's ability to learn. Over the past four years, the Sakai project has taken a novel approach to accessibility that is well beyond paying a third party for an "accessibility certificate" every few years. Sakai involves blind and low vision team members through the entire design, development, testing, and certification processes. Our goal is fostering a fully accessible community where all can participate and contribute. The Sakai accessibility lead is statutorily blind and participates in all aspects of the Sakai effort, including bringing those with disabilities into the project and mentoring them to become contributors. The accessibility team trains sighted developers and testers to do basic accessibility testing as part of their normal processes and provides consulting to any developer who wants a new feature or bug fix to be tested for accessibility. Building on the success of our accessibility efforts to date, Sakai is producing its own VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) for the Sakai 22 and 23 releases. This presentation will show techniques that can be applied in other open source projects to improve their approaches to accessibility and eventually do their own accessibility certification.
