I am listing down five best practices for designing courses with accessibility: 

• Use clear headings and organize content hierarchically: When structuring your course, make sure you use headings that clearly indicate the different sections and subtopics. This helps learners navigate the content easily. 
• Don’t forget alternative text for images and graphics: Oh, and when you include images or graphics, remember to provide alternative text for those too. This is like a brief description that screen reader users can hear to understand what’s in the image. 
• Make videos accessible with captions and transcripts: If you’re including videos in your course, be sure to add captions and transcripts. This helps learners with hearing limitations, as well as those who prefer to read along with the video. 
• Keep color blindness in mind when choosing colors: When picking colors for your course, consider how they might appear to someone who cannot distinguish between colors. Try to avoid relying solely on color to convey important information, and make sure there’s enough contrast between text and background colors. 
• Test and get feedback on accessibility: Finally, it’s important to test your course for accessibility. Seek feedback from individuals with different accessibility needs to identify any potential barriers or areas for improvement. This way, you can make your course more inclusive for everyone.

  By following these best practices, you’ll be on the right track to creating accessible courses that can benefit a diverse range of learners. 

Hi! Use clear and concise language in course materials. This helps learners with cognitive limitations understand the content better. For example, in the course I’m currently designing, I avoid using jargon and complex sentences. Instead, I opt for simple language and break down complex concepts into easily digestible chunks. Secondly, design courses with keyboard accessibility in mind. I make sure all interactive elements can be easily navigated using the keyboard alone. For instance, incorporate proper focus indicators for interactive elements, which allow learners to use the Tab key to navigate through the content without any barriers.
