Beyond Compliance: Using the University of California Checklist to Build Better Courses

The checklist translates WCAG’s website-oriented requirements into eCourse-specific guidelines and offers dozens of supplemental pages, examples, and demonstrations to equip you with programming techniques and a deeper understanding of accessibility theory, preparing you to address a wide array of real-world development situations. The Checklist is intended to benefit eCourse developers regardless of what tool they use, and it offers extensive guidance specifically for Articulate Storyline 360 and Rise. This session explores examples and share how the Checklist got to where it is today and how it might evolve in the future, potentially with your input and contributions.

You will leave this session with an understanding of:

• How to use the Checklist to ensure accessible, inclusive, and WCAG-compliant eCourse development.
• An enhanced understanding of Storyline- and multimedia-specific programming techniques.
• Greater confidence in your understanding of accessibility and ability to apply inclusive design principles.
