Checklist · Access & Inclusion

An accessibility check before you share

Questions to ask about a digital classroom document or activity.

Use this checklist as an initial review of a classroom resource. It is a starting point for finding barriers, not a certification of accessibility.

Structure and meaning

  • Does the resource have a descriptive title and a logical heading sequence?
  • Do links explain their destination?
  • Is essential information available without relying on color alone?
  • Do informative images have useful text alternatives?

Different ways of working

  • Can the main activity be completed with a keyboard?
  • Can text be enlarged without hiding essential content?
  • Are captions or transcripts available for relevant audio and video?
  • Are instructions available in a form the learner can revisit?

Test the task

Ask someone to complete the task using the tools they normally use. Observe where they pause or ask for help. Make changes, then check the revised version with the people affected.
