ARIA Landmark Roles

atlantic.edu now include ARIA Landmark Roles to help improve the accessibility of the site. ARIA roles help to improve the the semantics of the sites layout.

For instance, if a user is depending on a screen reader to have our site read to him, they can much more easily navigate directly to the main content or the search box with the use of ARIA.

This is another way we are making our website more accessible as well as more semantically sound for our users.
