Inside LRDG’s Accessible Learning Platform: 24/7 WCAG-Compliant Language Training

Published in honor of Global Accessibility Awareness Day – May 15, 2025

At LRDG, we believe that language learning should be accessible to everyone, no matter where or when. That’s why our online learning platform — known as the LRDG Portal — is available 24/7 and designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). With GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day) approaching on May 15, it’s the perfect time to spotlight how our platform promotes inclusive, government-aligned language training across Canada. 

What Is the LRDG Portal? 

Our secure, user-friendly platform offers a centralized space where learners can manage every aspect of their training: 

  • View upcoming tutoring sessions 
  • Check announcements from LRDG 
  • Access End of Session Reports (ESRs) 
  • Explore structured and interactive learning content 

The LRDG Portal is available 24/7, giving learners the freedom to study when it best suits them — whether early morning, during a work break, or late at night. It’s also fully mobile and tablet-friendly, ensuring flexible access on any device with an internet connection.

 Built for Government Language Training Levels

Our materials are designed to align with the Canadian government’s official language levels for SLE (Second Language Evaluation) exams, covering Level A, Level B, and Level C French and English training. 

  • Level A: Modules 0 to 7 
  • Level B: Modules 8 to 12 
  • Level C: Modules 13 to 15 

Whether you’re a federal employee preparing for an SLE exam or simply aiming to improve your French or English, the portal gives you targeted, level-appropriate content for each stage of your learning journey. 

Structured, Flexible, and Engaging Learning Materials

The LRDG Portal includes both a Categories and Units view: 

  • Categories: Organized into “What’s New,” “Dialogues”, “Activities”, and “Final Tests.” 
  • Units: Each unit blends elements of all four categories for learners who prefer a mixed, step-by-step approach. 

This structure allows learners to choose how they want to engage—whether diving into one section at a time or progressing through full units. To further support diverse learning styles, our materials also include engaging animations that make key concepts easier to understand.

Designed for All: WCAG-Compliant Learning Materials

Accessibility is built into every module at LRDG. Our learning content complies with WCAG 2.1 AA standards, ensuring that learners with diverse needs can engage with our materials confidently and independently. 

Key WCAG features include: 

  • Screen reader compatibility
  • Alt text for all visuals
  • Captioning for audio and video content

This ensures that everyone — regardless of ability — can benefit from our content in a meaningful way. 

Personalized Accessibility Support with Our Pedagogical Expert

At LRDG, accessibility isn’t just a feature—it’s a commitment. That’s why we have a dedicated pedagogical expert who works hand-in-hand with other teams to support both learners and tutors throughout the training journey. 

From the very beginning, she meets one-on-one with each learner requiring accommodation to understand their unique needs and expectations. She ensures that all necessary documentation is in place, allowing accommodations to be implemented smoothly and efficiently. 

Her support doesn’t stop there. She remains a consistent point of contact, checking in periodically and offering assistance whenever it’s needed. She also collaborates closely with tutors, helping them tailor their teaching strategies and materials to meet specific accessibility needs. 

With her personalized guidance and team-based approach, LRDG ensures that every learner has the tools and support they need for a truly inclusive and empowering learning experience.
