Known Accessibility Issues

Our goal is to make this resource as accessible as possible; however, we may miss a few things. To our knowledge, there is currently 1 known accessibility issue:

Location: Module 3, Unit 2 – Selecting Tools and Technology, H5P Rubric Image Hotspot in Example textbox.

Issue Description: The activity includes screenshots of the Rubric for eLearning Tool Evaluation [PDF]. The alt text provided in H5P signals the page number of the rubric and not the textual content that is vital for comprehension.

Work Around: We recommend opening the original and accessible Rubric for eLearning Tool Evaluation [PDF]. alongside the H5P activity, using the alt text as a guide to the relevant content.
