Here at Quill.org, we work hard to make sure that our product can be used by all kinds of students, regardless of ability. In working to make Quill entirely web accessible, we hope to eliminate any potential barriers of use for individuals with physical disabilities and/or situational disabilities.
In committing to web accessibility, we have designed the site with the following features in mind. These features, along with our best practices for using Quill with students with IEPs, will help all students successfully use Quill in your classroom.
Environmental Factors:
To account for environmental factors such as slow internet connection, Quill can be used on mobile devices, and at this time a mobile app is in the works that would ensure students can complete activities offline and turn them in once back online.
Physical Factors:
To accommodate for color blind users, we make sure a word accompanies our color code grading system, as well as the tool's icon (e.g. a flagpole for Quill Proofreader).
To account for students who are vision impaired, Quill.org works with screen readers, either for audio output and to braille output devices.
Browser extensions
Quill works well with multiple browser extensions to provide additional vision, audio, and language support. Check out this guide to learn how to install Chrome browser extensions and see the list of extensions we recommend.
