How do I check my course for accessibility before publishing?

The accessibility check plays your course in a hidden player and tests every screen against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA rules. It tells you what fails and where, so you can fix it before learners see it.

Run the check

1. #

   Choose Publish… at the right of the ribbon tab row.

2. #

   Under Before you publish, find Accessibility check · optional and choose Check accessibility.

3. #

   Wait while it scans every slide, slide layer, question feedback layer and results layer.

4. #

   Read the scorecard: Screens scanned, Failing criteria, Needs review and Passing criteria.

Fix what it finds

1. #

   Open Failing criteria to see each problem and the slide, layer and object it is on.

2. #

   Close the dialog, go to that object and fix it, for example by adding alt text to an image.

3. #

   Open Publish… again and choose Check accessibility to confirm the fix.

4. #

   Open Needs human review for things only a person can judge, such as whether alt text describes the picture well.

The View tab also has Accessibility check, so you can run it while you edit.
