Enabling Web Accessibility for Natively Installed Asset Integration Assets

Most course types support Web Accessibility, compliance with Section 508. To launch a natively installed asset with Web Accessibility enabled, specify the following additional argument on the usual AICC launch URL. The following example shows an AICC Web Accessibility enabled launch URL, the &x508=1 indicates Web Accessibility enabled:

http://launchURL?AICC_SID=sessionid&AICC_URL=lmsURL&x508=1

Use the http://launchURL to launch a given asset as specified in the AICC .au file for the relevant course.

Note: If your company is in maintenance or inactive mode, RO Launches are not allowed. If you are already launching and the company moves into maintenance or inactive mode, it will continue to launch.

The following web services also support support an enable508 argument, which has the same semantics as the x508 argument in the RO launch URL:

There is an OLSA backend setting to enable 508 support company-wide. The following table illustrates the relationship between this company-wide setting and the x508 RO launch URL argument and the additional function's enable508 argument.
