Accessibility

Percipio contains both accessible and non-accessible content. You have the option to configure Percipio for your organization so that only accessible content is available to your users.

To show only accessible content:

1. Go to Settings, then Site Configuration and Content Settings.
2. Unselect Content that does not conform to accessibility standards.

In addition, some collections contain non-accessible IT Labs. To hide these, work with your Skillsoft account team.

You can review the accessibility status of any content item by checking the WCAG column in your All content listing by collection report. If the value shows True, the item conforms to accessibility standards.

The books and book summaries notes and highlighting feature does not yet conform to accessibility standards. You have the option to disable it as appropriate for your organization.

To disable taking notes and highlighting in books, you can:

1. Go to Settings, then Site Configuration and Site features.

2. Unselect Allow learners to take notes and make highlights in books.

Skillsoft partners with Pendo, an approved third-party, data subprocessor to provide targeted system notifications, instruction guides, and surveys to both learners and administrators. All of these together are called Pendo guides.

Pendo guides do not yet conform to accessibility standards. You have the option to disable them as appropriate for your organization.

To prevent Pendo guides from showing:

1. Go to Settings, then Site Configuration and Site features.
2. Unselect Allow Percipio to present guides and surveys to users via Pendo.

Percipio allows you to have up to 5 promotional banners. By default, auto scrolling of the banners is turned on for all users. We recommend that screen reader users switch auto play off to give them better control.

To turn off auto play, you can choose to:

• Let users know that they can turn off auto scrolling themselves using the pause control in the banner. Users who find the continuous movement uncomfortable or who might need more time to read the banner contents may choose to turn off auto scrolling. The user override setting persists until they change it.
• Turn off the auto scroll setting for all users.
  1. Go to Settings, then Site Configuration and Site Features.
  2. Unselect Automatically scroll banner promotions. Users can still opt to override the setting by selecting play in the banner to enable auto scrolling for themselves. The user override setting persists until they change it.

When in the Skillsoft course player, we recommend that screen-reader users switch video auto play off to give them better control over the starting of videos. The auto play setting controls the resumption of a video which the user has already started playing, and the automatic starting of the next video when the previous video has completed. The setting persists for the current and subsequent sessions.

To turn video auto play off:

1. Within a course player, select Settings.
2. Locate Autoplay, then switch the toggle off.
