Making Learning Modules and Online Courses Accessible: Quick Testing Essentials (Digital Accessibility Webinar)

Online learning has become a primary way organizations deliver training and education, but accessibility in learning management systems and course content is frequently overlooked until it becomes a problem. In this session, Michael and Lauren will walk through the essential quick testing techniques for evaluating the accessibility of learning modules and online courses, covering keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, caption quality, and how interactive course elements behave with assistive technology. Attendees will learn how to identify the most common accessibility failures found in eLearning content including inaccessible quizzes, unlabeled buttons, and poorly structured multimedia, and how to prioritize fixes based on impact. The session will also touch on what accessibility requirements apply to online learning platforms and what organizations should be checking before content goes live. Join Michael Parker and Lauren from Access Ingenuity to learn how to quickly test your learning modules and online courses for accessibility before they reach your audience.
