Accessibility in eLearning is often treated as a technical compliance task, yet the barriers learners experience are usually created by everyday design and build decisions. This session sets a clear baseline for what accessibility means in digital learning, the range of digital access needs it supports, and how WCAG 2.2 can be translated into practical choices that learning teams can apply with confidence.

Using examples drawn from eLaHub auditing and the eLa1000 Accessibility Assessment, we will focus on the most common issues that prevent learners from fully accessing content, including contrast, images of text, drag and drop interactions, media alternatives for audio and video, moving content, and heading structure. The session also explores the relationship between accessibility and inclusivity, covering plain language, inclusive instructions, and better representation, and closes with a practical route to benchmarking and improving accessibility across an organisation with a progress over perfection mindset.


Competency Framework:  Learning and Development Practice; Instructional Design

Session Theme and Target Audience: In my kete - Intermediate and senior L&D professionals
