WEB Accessibility Guidelines Component Guideline
Why is this important?
Design clear, consistent navigation.
Clear and consistent navigation in your course will allow students to focus on your content rather than on how to find it. Blinking content is distracting, and it can cause seizures to occur in people with a photosensitive disorder. • Why the reading order of a form is important Using the tab key, your cursor should follow through the form in the same order it is in - tended to be completed. This benefits users who cannot use a mouse. • Why labeling buttons and form fields is important A screen reader will identify the button or form field by reading the label. The label should adequately describe the button’s action, and the form field label should indicate what infor - mation should be filled in to the form field. Video captions benefit many viewers. Captions are essential for those who are deaf and hard of hearing, but they also aid in comprehension for non-native English speakers, those who are unfamiliar with vocabulary, and viewers with some learning disabilities or in a noisy environment. Audio transcripts benefit many students. They are essential for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, but they also assist anyone who would like to read or search the transcript. Inaccessible software and applications will shut students with disabilities out. Contact us to have your interactive applications and software accessibility tested. For web pages, use an equation editor that outputs MathML. For MS Word and PPT documents, use the MathType plugin.

Eliminate or limit blinking / flashing content to 3 seconds.
BLINKINGS
FORMS
• Label form fields and buttons clearly. • Ensure a proper logical reading order in a form.
Keep a list of videos and audio recordings that are not cap- tioned / subtitled or transcribed. DSS will ask you for that list when you have a student with a captioning accommodation.
