Creating accessible PDFs for eLearning: Part 1 [Video]

Creating accessible PDFs for eLearning: Part 1

It is vital that knowledge and education reaches everyone who wishes to learn, and that’s why accessibility in eLearning is so important. While working on an eLearning project for a Big 4 accounting firm, GAAP Dynamics was tasked with creating an accessible resource that would be a fully NASBA-compliant replica of a self-study course that a blind or low-vision learner would be able to utilize without outside assistance.

As a solution, we took the course indexes that we included with each of our self-study courses and converted them into accessible PDFs that were able to be read and navigated by a screen reader. While learning to create these accessible course indexes, we ran into a few errors while programming that were a bit trickier to solve than others, so we wanted to create this multi-part vlog series on how we tagged our accessible course indexes to be read by a screen reader, as well as how to troubleshoot these errors in order to be a helpful resource to anyone else working on updating their PDF resources for accessibility.

In part one, we’ll be walking through prepping your ACI in Microsoft Word to be converted to PDF, tagging any forms included in the document, and sharing several solutions for troubleshooting form errors.
