Accessibility statement

Welcome, this is the accessibility statement of SeAMK Wellbeing Labs website.

Accessibility means that a website, web applications and social media channels can be used and understood smoothly.

Digital accessibility at SeAMK

As a public actor, SeAMK must comply with the EU’s Web Accessibility Directive and the Finnish Digital Services Act. SeAMK’s digital services and content comply with levels A and AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences takes digital accessibility into account in various online services and platforms, social media channels, digital materials and teaching, among other things. Most of our online services and social media channels largely meet Level A and AA requirements (WCAG). More detailed information on accessibility is provided in the accessibility statements of online services.

The implementation of the EU Accessibility Directive at SeAMK has been guided and supported by the Accessibility Team appointed by the DigiSeAMK Steering Group, whose term of office expired in August 2022. Thereafter, the promotion of digital accessibility at SeAMK is the responsibility of the Accessibility Officer in cooperation with persons responsible for online services and content, as well as teachers.

Comprehensive accessibility guidelines have been prepared for the use of SeAMK’s staff, students, and co-operation partners. Guidelines are:

Creating accessible online content
Making accessible documents
Creating accessible digital materials (e.g. videos, images, podcasts, pdfs)
Accessibility in teaching and teaching materials
Creating an accessible Moodle course
Considering accessibility in the procurement of digital services and content

SeAMK has also organised various accessibility trainings for online service administrators and online content producers, as well as for teachers, and all of them are supported in implementing accessibility.
