Make Your Online Course Accessible to Everyone

Do you want to create an accessible online course that gives every learner the opportunity to learn, participate, and succeed?

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of online course accessibility, digital accessibility, and accessible e-learning. You will discover how to identify common accessibility barriers and how to design online courses and learning materials that are more inclusive and accessible to students with different needs.

Accessibility is not only about compliance. It is about creating a better learning experience for everyone.

What Is Online Course Accessibility?

Online course accessibility means designing digital learning experiences that can be accessed and used by as many people as possible, including learners with disabilities.

In this course, you will explore the different challenges students may experience when learning online and learn practical ways to make your online course content, videos, audio, documents, and learning materials more accessible.

You will learn how accessibility can be incorporated into the entire online course creation process — from planning and design to testing and improvement.

Why Does Online Course Accessibility Matter?

Millions of people experience some form of disability or accessibility barrier when using digital products and services. An online course that is difficult to navigate, hear, see, read, or understand can prevent learners from accessing the knowledge they need.

By learning about e-learning accessibility, you can make your courses more welcoming and usable for a wider range of learners.

You will also gain a better understanding of how seemingly small design decisions can create significant barriers — and how thoughtful course design can help remove them.
