Adapting Courses and Gamified Content for Blind and Low Vision Learners
summary
A course originally built for sighted learners is converted into fully navigable lessons using Google Forms, alt text, clear heading structure and logical tab order so VoiceOver, TalkBack, NVDA and JAWS announce labels and errors correctly; a refreshable braille display paired with an iPad lets one totally blind student complete assignments; two colleagues who couldn’t access the prior LMS finish the course after the switch; includes a gamified escape-room form, practice forms and a 10-minute hands-on lab.
