When designing a course module, use color contrast checkers to ensure your platform\u2019s palette achieves the WCAG\u2019s minimum ratio of 4.5:1 for normal-sized text.

Start by adding subtitles or closed captions to your videos, this ensures that learners with hearing impairments can follow along with the audio. This is crucial for pre-recorded webinars, instructional videos, and any other form of multimedia content. For example, a video tutorial on software usage should include accurate captions to support learners who may have difficulty hearing the voiceover, or even for those wanting to study in excessively noisy or silent environments.<\/p><p>You can learn more actionable strategies with our <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/video-accessibility-checklist\/\">video accessibility checklist<\/a>.<\/p><h3>Keyboard Navigation<\/h3><p>For users with mobility impairments who may not use a mouse, all elements of your course should be operable via <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/keyboard-accessibility\/\">keyboard shortcuts<\/a>. Ensure that learners can navigate through modules, access menus, and complete tasks by using the \u201cTab\u201d key or other commands. For instance, quizzes in an accessibility-driven eLearning program should allow users to select answers using only the keyboard.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8f28aae\" data-id=\"8f28aae\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff1679f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ff1679f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/A-Guide-to-Video-Accessibility-Header-1024x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-35165\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/A-Guide-to-Video-Accessibility-Header-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/A-Guide-to-Video-Accessibility-Header-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/A-Guide-to-Video-Accessibility-Header-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/A-Guide-to-Video-Accessibility-Header-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/A-Guide-to-Video-Accessibility-Header.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-451492b disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"451492b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d155df\" data-id=\"5d155df\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e16052 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8e16052\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Descriptive Alt Text<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/how-to-write-image-alt-text-for-accessibility\/\">Alternative text<\/a>, or alt text, is a text-based description of an image or graphic. It allows screen readers to convey the meaning of images to visually impaired users who would not otherwise be able to perceive the content. Alt text should be descriptive, but not overwhelming or overcomplicated. If your course includes a diagram of a business process, for example, summarize the key elements in the alt text so that all learners can comprehend the content, but avoid using too many words or any technical jargon.<\/p><h3>Accessible Forms and Interactions<\/h3><p>If your eLearning course includes interactive forms, such as feedback surveys or assessments, ensure they are accessible by using proper HTML markup. Labels should be clearly associated with form fields, and instructions should be concise and easy to understand. If incorrect data is entered, include a detailed error message instead of just highlighting the field red.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0336f46 disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0336f46\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0757217\" data-id=\"0757217\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-801c990 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"801c990\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Increase-Text-Size-Icon.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-34082\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Increase-Text-Size-Icon.png 600w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Increase-Text-Size-Icon-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Increase-Text-Size-Icon-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6f6207d\" data-id=\"6f6207d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab38848 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab38848\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Text-to-Speech Compatibility<\/h3><p>Ensure that your text-based resources can be read aloud by text-to-speech software.

By testing your course with popular screen reader software, you can verify that all the content is accessible.<\/p><h3>Adjustable Text Size<\/h3><p>Generally speaking, better customization means better accessibility. Give your e-learners the ability to adjust text size, font styles, and colors, with a software product like Recite Me\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/product\/assistive-toolbar\/\">accessibility toolbar<\/a>.

Avoid jargon or unnecessarily complex terms, and be efficient with your use of words. This can be difficult when explaining highly technical processes, but by breaking such concepts down into bite-sized, digestible chunks, you\u2019re already most of the way there.<\/p><h3>Consistent Layouts<\/h3><p>Having consistent navigation options and structure across all modules in your online course helps learners know what to expect.
