Accessibility for Digital Learning Content

E-learning has become one of the crucial factors in providing education and training in various fields. And it is vital to ensure that eLearning material and resources are accessible to people with disabilities to offer them the equal training resources as others. The key elements we focus on to make e-learning accessible include the following:

Text and Information Accessibility

The goal of elearning text and information accessibility is to provide an inclusive learning experience for people with disabilities. Our experts focus on key considerations, such as readable fonts and colors, keyboard accessibility, content navigation, and accessible assessments. We ensure the information in eLearning courses is accessible to people with diverse needs, as we use:

  • Clear and concise language
  • Avoid technical jargon and terms
  • Optimize the structure of e-learning content by using headings and subheadings
  • Add keyboard navigation for easy comprehension

For text accessibility in digital content, we use appropriate typography. We use fonts and font sizes as recommended by WCAG 2.1 and provide options to adjust as per the user's requirements. The contrast of foreground and background colors meets all the prescribed guidelines to ensure that visually impaired users can easily access the information.

Text and Information Accessibility
Multimedia Content Accessibility

Multimedia Content Accessibility

Making multimedia content in elearning courses or educational resources is of utmost importance. We design and deliver multimedia elements such as audio clips and interactive content like images, videos, graphs in a way that accommodates different learning needs. Our accessibility experts ensure that we:

  • Use visual cues like icons and labels to convey essential information and
  • Avoid color combinations causing confusion and discomfort/ disorientation to users
  • Add alternative text descriptions for images to ensure that visually impaired individuals can understand the content.
  • Add captions or transcriptions for videos and audio content to make them accessible for hearing-impaired individuals. Avoid using flash-based multimedia, as it can pose challenges for users with disabilities and may not be device- friendly.
  • Add audio descriptions for video content that describe its visual elements for learners with vision impairment.
  • Provide clear instructions for interactive elements, such as quizzes or activities.
  • Use media players that allow users to control video playback.
  • Make multimedia elements compatible with assistive technologies.

Compliances We Follow for eLearning Accessibility

Accessible eLearning under the ADA (Title II)

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits any discrimination by all public entities at the federal, local, and state levels. This also includes eLearning accessibility for all the courses and resources available online. We ensure accessible e-Learning materials by adding closed captions, audio descriptions and implementing other accessibility best practices.

Accessible eLearning Under ADA (Title III)

Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act states that all places of public accommodation, including private entities and educational institutions, be accessible. No discrimination is allowed on the basis of disabilities with regard to the equal enjoyment of goods, education, services, facilities, and accommodations.

Accessible eLearning under Section 504

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is the first statute to declare civil rights for people with disabilities. It states that “no prejudice will be done only on the basis of people with disabilities underneath any agenda or activity receiving Federal financial aid for any activity or program.” It also includes academic institutions that offer all students equal opportunities regardless of their abilities.

Accessible eLearning under Section 508

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires making all the electronic communications and information technologies, like websites, web documents or emails of federal programs accessible and operable in various ways like offering adjustable font size, adding captions, transcriptions to audio video content. It must also be implemented in the domain of education, as making educational documents accessible is crucial to attaining accessibility.
