Accessible Chemistry
for Every Learner

Built to address diverse needs and remove barriers.
Our Accessibility Approach
We listen, learn, and evolve to ensure all of our students can thrive.
The REAL Chem team constantly strives to ensure that our platform and the content that it delivers is as accessible as possible. However, evolving standards and a diverse community of content contributors will lead to new issues being identified. We are committed to this work; as issues are found please report them to oli-help@cmu.edu and we will do our best to ensure we resolve them in a timely manner.

We regularly assess the accessibility of our tools using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). The VPAT contains documentation on Section 508 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Success Criteria & Conformance Requirements (Levels A, AA):
