Alva - system for reserving, returning and evaluating students’ practical works
Alva is a system enabling the resourcing of laboratory equipments. It is used in Tampere University's measurement laboratories of Physics, Civil Engineering and Chemistry. Alva is used as a booking and evaluation system for laboratory work, in which student/work group can
- book a shift to the measurement laboratory
- return the measurement report
- receive feedback and grade for their work.
The development of the system is coordinated by the Services for Educational Leadership team together with the measurement laboratory staff, kjt.tau [at] tuni.fi (kjt[dot]tau[at]tuni[dot]fi).

Is the service accessible?
The digital service referred to herein partly meets the critical Level A and AA requirements (WCAG-2.1). The identified issues are described below.
Non-accessible content
The website does not yet meet all the accessibility requirements.
Issues with operability:
- Tampere University’s logo acts as a link but does not always take users to the same location. The location depends on the user’s profile. The service does not have an actual start page where this link could lead. The logo does not include a description, so screen readers will only read the file name of the logo. (WCAG 2.4.4)
