Accessibility in e-learning design is more than making accommodations for those with disabilities. When you consider the broad range of individuals who are your learners, you will find that some accessibility practices are a requirement, not an option.
“Design for All” is a concept that invites you to remove barriers to learning for everyone by practicing people-first design from the very beginning.
In this session, we’ll explore ways to break down barriers with the design essentials for accessible digital content.
First, you’ll gain insight into what’s it’s like to take e-learning using a screen reader. Then, you’ll learn about structure and focus order with examples from popular authoring tools. I’ll demonstrate different use cases for alternative text and image descriptions, along with tips and tools for writing and adding them. You’ll have an opportunity to explore color use and contrast examples, and identify useful testing and simulation tools. And finally, we will explore captioning, transcripts, and audio descriptions and their use cases.
We will discuss how these essential practices can integrate seamlessly into your design process without adding unnecessary work. This session demystifies accessibility, fostering an inclusive design approach that enhances the learning experience for all.
In this session, attendees will learn:
– Ways to set structure and order of digital content
– The difference between alt text and image descriptions and when to use them
– Ways to make better color and contrast design decisions.
– When to use closed captions, audio descriptions, and transcripts
