As an ed tech company who values advocating for learners, Classkick’s mission to create an accessible product is integral to us. Classkick is a team of mostly former teachers. This experience helps drive the company to make sure our platform is as user friendly as possible.
As a quickly growing company, Classkick is always working to make our product better.
To create a better overall experience for our users, we’re looking into ways to improve Classkick and remove as many barriers as possible to provide a more accessible and inclusive product.
Our roadmap includes plans to improve equitable access for all users, regardless of ability, situation, or context.
We are working toward becoming ADA and WCAG compliant.
Classkick has many features that help create an accessible experience in the classroom.
