Accessibility
When creating a training session, it is important to consider how accessible the course is to all individuals. Simply put, course accessibility refers to creating content that is useable by most people. Accessibility is generally thought of in terms of people with physical disabilities. In terms of accessible online course content, physical disabilities or impairments are important to consider. Accessibility can also refer to the type of device a person is using to access course content, internet speed, internet connections, etc.
Making courses accessible to as many people as possible is important for several reasons.
- As a good business practice. More individuals can access your content and take your online trainings.
- It’s the right thing to do. Creating online content that is accessible shows that you care about making everyone has equal access to the content.
