At CBTL, we offer a wide range of options for integrating accessibility into our e-learning courses to ensure that people with different abilities and impairments have unrestricted access to their learning content. Find out how you can create an inclusive learning experience with EVOLUTION³.
Customised solutions for people with visual impairments
Our e-learning courses can be made accessible for people with visual impairments by providing audio content. The course content is read aloud by a speaker so that people with impaired vision can also absorb the information. However, in order to meet the needs of all users, it is also possible to switch off the speaker texts if required and display the content as text instead. This ensures flexible use of the course, regardless of the learner’s individual preferences or abilities.
However, people with visual impairments may find it difficult or impossible to perceive visual content. That is why we not only offer audio recordings of learning content, but also provide alternative text for visual content to convey information and provide the best possible support for people with visual impairments.
With EVOLUTION³, every image, diagram or graphic can be provided with alternative text (alt tags) that describes the content in detail. This enables screen readers to convert visual information into words. This descriptive text alternative allows people with visual impairments to understand information that would otherwise only be conveyed visually.
Our content is optimally tailored for use with screen readers, which can read specific texts aloud either automatically or at the user’s request.
When designing e-learning content, it is also important to choose colour variations that are easy to read and understand for people with visual impairments as well as those with colour blindness.
It is therefore advisable to ensure a high contrast between the elements. Black or dark grey text on a white or light grey background is one of the best options. This makes text and visual elements easier to recognise and read.
With EVOLUTION³, you can also adjust the colours of your course retrospectively via the project properties in order to optimise the contrast design. The adjusted colours are then automatically changed in your course. In addition, you have the option of creating different versions of an e-learning course for different target groups. This allows you to adapt the original content of a course to the individual needs of a target group with little additional effort, ensuring an optimal learning experience for all learners. A link is created so that the original project remains unchanged. However, changes to the original project can be transferred to the newly created version if necessary.
Ease of use for people with motor impairments
People with motor impairments may have difficulty performing certain interactions with the mouse. With EVOLUTION³, you can design your content so that people with motor impairments can participate without difficulty.
Some of the interactive elements of our e-learning courses can be operated entirely using the keyboard. The keyboard focus is clearly visible, allowing users to navigate through the course and interact with it easily and intuitively.
With EVOLUTION³, you can also change the size and position of buttons and links so that they are large enough and well spaced for people with disabilities to avoid accidental clicks and make operation easier.
Support for people with hearing impairments
People with hearing impairments require special support to perceive auditory content. With our audio content subtitling, you can ensure that your content is fully accessible to people with hearing impairments.
You can, of course, design every detail to make the content understandable without obscuring important information.
Conclusion
Taking accessibility into account in e-learning is essential for creating an inclusive learning experience. Implementing the measures outlined above ensures that all learners, regardless of their abilities or impairments, can benefit equally from e-learning courses. This not only promotes equal opportunities, but also increases the satisfaction and learning success of all participants.
