Accessibility at Classfolio

Read Aloud

Read Aloud lets students have lesson slides, activities, assignments and assessment questions read aloud to them. This supports learners with dyslexia, visual impairment, other reading difficulties, and students still building confidence reading in English.

• Available across lessons, interactive activities, assignments and assessments
• Students can activate Read Aloud from within each activity
• Supports multiple languages where available, alongside English
• Uses browser-native and platform text-to-speech

Student Language & Accessibility Profiles

Every student can have a personal profile recording their home language and accessibility needs, set once by a teacher and applied automatically wherever that student learns in Classfolio.

• Home language and support needs recorded in one place
• Applied automatically across lessons, activities, assignments and assessments
• Set and updated by teachers — students never manage their own profile
• Supports personalised Read Aloud and translation settings per student

Text resizing

Classfolio uses responsive typography and fluid layouts that support browser-native text resizing. Students and teachers can increase text size using their browser settings without breaking the layout of the platform.

• Responsive layouts that adapt when text size is increased
• Compatible with browser zoom (Ctrl/Cmd +) up to 200%
• Fluid font sizes using relative units

Keyboard accessibility

Core navigation and interactive elements throughout Classfolio support standard keyboard interaction. Users can navigate between elements using the Tab key and activate controls without a pointer device.

• Focusable interactive elements across the platform
• Tab-key navigation through menus, buttons, and forms
• Visible focus indicators on interactive elements
• Keyboard alternative for drag-and-drop activities — select an item with Enter, then choose where to place it

School identity provider sign-in

Students and teachers sign in using their existing school Google or Microsoft accounts. This removes the need for students to manage separate passwords, reducing a common barrier for learners with memory difficulties or cognitive accessibility needs.

• Google Workspace for Education sign-in
• Microsoft 365 sign-in
• No separate Classfolio password to remember

Pseudonymous display names

Classfolio supports pseudonymous display names — for example “Smith, J” rather than a student’s full name — which can benefit students who are more comfortable with reduced personal data exposure in a classroom setting.
