How To Make e-learning Effective AND Accessible - with Susi Miller
Manage episode 446104693 series 2761936
Lucinda is joined by special guest Susi Miller from EleHub about the critical topic of accessibility in e-learning. Susi discusses the importance of making digital learning content accessible to individuals with various disabilities and access needs, as well as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and how these standards apply to e-learning, highlighting common pitfalls and best practices for creating inclusive learning experiences
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Accessibility goes beyond traditional views of disability, encompassing various access needs, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. It's essential to consider all types of disabilities when creating digital content.
- The WCAG guidelines serve as a benchmark for making digital content accessible. Organisations often aim to meet WCAG AA level, which includes 56 standards. The latest version, WCAG 2.2, introduced nine new standards to improve accessibility.
- Creating inclusive learning experiences benefits all learners, not just those with disabilities. Using clear language, providing alternatives to common interactions (like drag-and-drop), and ensuring content is engaging for everyone enhances the overall learning experience.
- Conducting audits and providing training on accessibility empowers organisations to create their own accessible content. This approach focuses on practical remediation and understanding the specific authoring tools used in creating learning materials.
BEST MOMENTS
"Accessibility is very often what people mean when they're talking about how do we make our content accessible to these particular standards."
"If you're just looking at those accessibility standards, what you're not doing is looking at the learner experience."
"It's very easy for someone to say yes to being WCAG compliant, but you need to look deeper."
"The misconception that accessible content is not as good as non-accessible content is something we still have in our industry."
