Create an Accessible Digital Report

Learners plan a short digital report for an audience (title, introduction, sections with headings, conclusion), then make it accessible: heading styles, useful alt text for images, readable size and contrast, meaning that doesn't depend on colour alone, descriptive link text and captions. They finish by checking a draft against an accessibility checklist and revising a section.

  • 4 lessons
  • About 70 minutes
  • Accessible report check: 8 questions
  • Ways to answer: choose an answer, highlight a text, match pairs, put in order, sort into groups and write a short answer
