Belmont App was built on the Blackboard App platform and uses all its features.
The app is natively designed, so it works with the accessibility features built into iOS, Android, and Windows devices. These features help make mobile content available for people with physical, visual, or hearing impairments.
iOS accessibility features
VoiceOver. A screen reader that allows users to navigate their phones with gestures and touch the screen to hear what they tap on.
Zoom. A magnifying tool used to enlarge any item on the screen from 100–1,500 percent.
Color filters. Display accommodations that allow the fine-tuning of colors, hues, and tints to support vision impairments and color blindness.
Switch Control. A navigation tool that enables actions through Bluetooth switch hardware for users with physical disabilities and limited motor skills.
AssistiveTouch. An onscreen menu for navigation and functionality rather than more complex actions such as pushing the Home button or tapping two places on the screen simultaneously.
