Auditing Online Courses for Accessibility
summary
Shows how to install and run WAVE and axe DevTools on a course page, map findings to WCAG success criteria (examples: 1.1 non‑text, 1.2 time‑based media, landmarks), and build a remediation list with severity and conformance level. Demonstrates live scans that surface empty links, landmark omissions and contrast flags, and reports a real case where 30 contrast errors fixed by one CSS change collapses into a single task. Includes sample audit template and next steps for ongoing audits.
