Adaptation of Digital Teaching Content

Digital content should be accessible to everyone, including students with disabilities. Follow the basic principles of the WCAG guidelines (CAST, 2024; W3C, 2024):

• use high-contrast colours for text and background;

• add captions or transcripts for video and audio content;

• write in clear and simple language (W3C, 2024);

• enable keyboard navigation;

• use alt text for images (W3C, 2018; Ally, 2019).

Tip: 

Test your materials using accessibility checking tools (e.g., WAVE, axe Accessibility) (W3C, 2018).
