Creating accessible files is not as daunting a task as many believe it to be. These six steps will go a long way in making your content more accessible.

1. Provide Alternative Text descriptions (ALT Text) on photos or images
   • DO: Solar Eclipse, moon darkening 3/4 of sun leaving a glowing crescent
   • DON'T: Solar Eclipse
     
     
   • How to Add Alt Text in D2L
2. Provide a text equivalent for charts or graphs.
3. Use descriptive text for links
   • DO: The Library of Congress web site holds a wealth of free resources.
   • DON'T: Click here for a web site holds with wealth of free resources
     
     
   • How to Add Meaningful Links in D2L
4. Limit the use of color text, use only 1 color as a "hightlight" color.
   • Color blind students, and visually impaired students may not see that color as you see it (red may appear olive or grey).
   • Students with cognitive impairments, dyslexia, or other conditions can be confused and distracted by many different colors on a page.
   • Screen readers are not typically set to read the color of text as it disrupts the content flow.
     
     
5. Use the Heading and list features when creating your documents
   
   

• How to Add Heading Tags in D2L
• How to Add Lists in D2L
• How to Add Table Headers in D2L
• Include speaker notes in your narrated PowerPoint. These notes become the "closed caption" feature for deaf students.
