WCAG 2.2 for Teachable Sites

WCAG 2.2 became a W3C Recommendation in October 2023. It keeps every WCAG 2.1 requirement except 4.1.1 Parsing and adds six success criteria at Level A and AA, mostly about people with low vision, motor disabilities and cognitive disabilities. A Teachable site that meets WCAG 2.2 AA also meets 2.1 AA and 2.0 AA.

This checker runs the same free scan as the Teachable accessibility checker with the WCAG 2.2 AA preset, so the results include the 2.2 rules that automated testing can check.

On Teachable, WCAG 2.2 issues often come from design choices made in the editor: small icon buttons, sticky headers and announcement bars, and carousels that only respond to swiping or dragging. Check each section template once and fix it there.

Who Should Run the Teachable WCAG 2.2 Checker

Teachable site owners who want the most current, future-proof target.
Teams redesigning a Teachable site, where adopting the latest version costs little extra.
Organizations selling into the EU, where EN 301 549 V4.1.1 now uses WCAG 2.2.
Anyone preparing for new rules, which tend to adopt the latest WCAG version.

The New WCAG 2.2 Criteria to Check on Teachable

2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum)

Sticky headers, cookie banners and chat widgets must not completely hide the element that has keyboard focus.
2.5.7 Dragging Movements

Anything that works by dragging, such as sliders, carousels and sortable lists, needs a single-pointer alternative.
2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum)

Buttons and links need a target of at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels, or enough space around them. Icon buttons and pagination links often fail.
3.2.6 Consistent Help

Help such as a contact link or chat must appear in the same place on every page that has it.
3.3.7 Redundant Entry

Do not ask for the same information twice in one process, such as shipping and billing addresses, without offering to fill it in.
3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum)

Sign-in must not depend on a cognitive test, such as remembering a password without paste support or solving a puzzle.

Where Teachable Sites Usually Fail WCAG 2.2

These problems come up again and again on Teachable sites, and each one fails WCAG 2.2. The Teachable accessibility checker explains how to fix them in Teachable.

Sales pages built with images of text. Headlines, benefits and pricing set in graphics are invisible to screen readers and cannot be resized.
Video lessons without captions or transcripts. Lesson videos need accurate captions and ideally a transcript. Automatic captions are a start, but they must be reviewed.
Downloads in inaccessible PDFs. Workbooks, slides and templates exported as untagged or scanned PDFs cannot be read by screen readers. Test them with our free PDF accessibility checker.
Low contrast and fine print. Brand colors on buttons, light gray guarantees and small print often fail the contrast minimum.
Enrollment and checkout forms. Sign-up and payment forms with placeholder-only fields, unclear errors and countdown timers that rush the buyer.

Worried about ADA claims as well? The Teachable ADA compliance checker covers the Teachable risks behind most complaints.

What to Test by Hand on Teachable

Automated testing finds many, but not all, WCAG 2.2 failures. Check these yourself after the scan:

Tab through each page and check the focused element is never fully covered by sticky content (2.4.11).
Try every drag interaction with a single click or tap instead (2.5.7).
Sign in with a password manager and check paste works (3.3.8).
Rescan after each fix. Continuous monitoring rescans up to 500 URLs per domain daily and keeps a dated record in the Compliance Vault.

Teachable WCAG 2.2 Checker: Frequently Asked Questions

Does my Teachable site need to meet WCAG 2.2?

Few laws require WCAG 2.2 yet, but it is the current standard and meeting it also meets 2.1 and 2.0. EN 301 549 V4.1.1, written for the European Accessibility Act, now uses WCAG 2.2 AA.

What is new in WCAG 2.2 for Teachable sites?

Six Level A and AA criteria: focus not obscured, dragging movements, target size, consistent help, redundant entry and accessible authentication. Target size and focus visibility are the ones scans most often flag.

Can the scan check every WCAG 2.2 criterion on Teachable?

No automated tool can. The scan checks the criteria that can be tested automatically, such as target size, and lists the ones that need a person, such as accessible authentication.
