2 What do you need to do?

Generally speaking we need to make it possible to access and consume information in a variety of ways.

  • All students, but especially those with e.g. Dyslexia, will benefit from interactive and responsive resources which are colourful, have well rendered maths and graphics and are enriched with video and audio. Go for it!
  • But such resources can raise practical and technical barriers for some if poorly made:
    • Complex navigation and accurate input may be difficult keyboard only or pointer only
    • Maths needs to be chunkable and navigable for speech, magnification, Braille and small screens
    • Use of colour-only to give meaning is a problem
    • Raster graphics do not magnify/zoom well
    • Responsive pages with multiple foci hard for VI users
