Accessibility

We want students and staff to be able to learn with HoCoHOC using the tools and input methods that work for them. We are improving access across our lessons, quizzes, coding challenges, and games.

Using the website

Press Tab to move between links and controls. The first link skips navigation and moves to the main content. Press Enter to follow a link or activate a button; Space also activates buttons.
Press Escape to close a menu or dialog. Focus returns to the control that opened it.
In the Write Code editor, Tab indents your code. Press Escape, then Tab to leave the editor, or Escape, then Shift+Tab to move to the previous control.
Use arrow keys to move between quiz answers. Review your selections before submitting.
Games use buttons and text fields. Algo Sorter swaps two numbers by selecting each one. Hex Guesser provides numeric RGB values alongside colors.
Use your browser zoom and your device’s reduced-motion preference. Game feedback stays available until you choose to continue.
Where available, lesson videos include captions, a transcript, and a link to a version with audio description.

Known limitations

The HoCoHOC team confirms that lesson videos have subtitles. Subtitle accuracy, coverage of meaningful sounds, transcripts, and audio description still need a complete accessibility review. Instructional images and uploaded classifier images may need fuller descriptions. Google sign-in, embedded forms, and embedded videos also need testing with assistive technology. We are not claiming full WCAG or Section 508 conformance at this time.

If a lesson or activity is inaccessible, contact us with the lesson name and the information or format you need. You can send feedback by email if the feedback form is difficult to use.
