Designed for Everyone: Accessible Digital Content

Create more accessible slides, documents, LMS pages, images and media using practical habits for structure, alternatives, contrast, keyboard access and responsive design.

• Treat accessibility as design, not an exception process — The best time to make digital content accessible is before a learner encounters the barrier.
• Give content real structure, not just visual formatting — Headings, lists, labels and meaningful links communicate relationships that assistive technologies and many readers use to navigate.
• Provide equivalent access to images and media — Images, charts, audio and video need alternatives that communicate the information or function learners require.
• Make visual and interactive choices survive different ways of using the page — Contrast, colour, reflow, focus and keyboard access determine whether content remains usable beyond one ideal screen and input method.
• Use a publishing workflow, not a one-off accessibility check — Automated checkers catch some issues; reliable accessibility also needs manual inspection and, where possible, feedback from users.
