Module 1 Book: Formatting Course Content so it's Accessible

Topic 4: Building and Checking for Accessibility Across Digital Formats

Implementing the accessible design practices described in the previous topic will function differently depending on the platform you are using to author content. This topic will describe the design considerations for different digital documents and web presences, including how to check for accessibility in each. Many platforms and software include built-in accessibility checkers. While useful, keep in mind that these checkers do not necessarily prove that your content is completely accessible for everyone, as they do not account for all types of learners and the challenges they might face. Do not neglect good design by relying on these accessibility checkers after your content is authored!
