Accessible eLearning and More through Universal Design
summary
Practical steps and measurable gaps: a survey of the top 1 million homepages finds 86% low contrast text and 66% missing alt text, plus ~60% empty links and ~54% missing form labels, so start with captions, transcripts, and labeled form fields. Use authoring tools like Storyline, Rise and Camtasia with custom focus order in Storyline, run PDFs through Acrobat and OCR, and check color with WebAIM aiming for a 4.5:1 contrast ratio; run accessibility checkers (Microsoft, WAVE, axe).
