Accessible Headings
Accessible Hyperlinks
Accessible Tables
Accessible Lists
Accessibility Checker
By Diana Montealegre, Instructional Designer
Descriptive links help students understand where a link will take them and what type of resource they will be opening.
The Accessibility Checker reviews your content for common accessibility issues, such as missing alt text, table structure problems, or low color contrast. It's a great starting point for accessibility reviews.
Headings help all learners understand the structure of your content, especially those using screen readers.
Lists help organize information in a clear, logical way, and when formatted correctly, they’re easy to read with assistive technology.
Alt text helps screen reader users understand the purpose of an image. It’s a short description that conveys the same meaning someone would get by seeing the image.
Tables should be used to display data, not layout. When used correctly, they help all users understand information clearly, including users using screen readers.
