Notes

This VPAT covers the majority of content and functionality available to users on https://ditki.com, including educational materials in tutorial videos, hyperlinked tutorial notes, tutorial quizzes, subject and course exams, flashcards, question banks, anatomical atlases, and more. While we are committed to providing the highest level of accessibility across all functionality on our site to all users, activities featuring our drawing pad are designed for detailed interaction with a stylus, drawing tablet, computer mouse, or touchscreen device. These activities are inherently incompatible with keyboard input, are highly visual in nature, and are heavily integrated with third-party libraries which may make meeting accessibility criteria more difficult. We will continue to work to make our drawing pad more accessible, and create a VPAT which encompasses supported features/criteria. Our drawing pad is featured in the following locations/activities:

The ditki Whiteboard:

https://ditki.com/whiteboard

Tutorial drawing pad (all tutorials), e.g.:

https://ditki.com/course/neuroanatomy/basal-ganglia/anatomy-physiology/312/direct-indirect-pathways-new/tutorial

Tutorial drawing exercises (most tutorials), e.g.:

https://ditki.com/course/neuroanatomy/basal-ganglia/anatomy-physiology/312/direct-indirect-pathways-new/exercises/2545?demo=true

Tutorial board highlight exercises (most tutorials), e.g.:

https://ditki.com/course/neuroanatomy/basal-ganglia/anatomy-physiology/312/direct-indirect-pathways-new/highlights/ABPN-neurology-boards/2545?demo=true

Currently all links to site content featuring the drawing pad are hidden from screen readers and other accessibility tools with ARIA attributes, as navigating to these pages may result in keyboard traps or other undesirable behavior.

This VPAT does not cover Institutional Analytics available only to instructors on https://analytics.ditki.com.

This VPAT does not cover the Draw it to Know it iOS App. The Draw it to Know it iOS App is deprecated and no longer supported.
