Missing Captions on Videos in eLearning Courses
Videos that include speech or important audio have no closed captions. Learners who are deaf or hard of hearing cannot access the content.
Missing Transcripts for Audio Content in eLearning
Audio-only content — recorded narration, podcast clips, audio interviews — has no transcript. Deaf learners, and anyone unable to play audio, cannot access the information.
Keyboard and Focus
Keyboard Navigation Issues in eLearning Courses
Some interactions can only be completed with a mouse. Learners who cannot use a mouse — due to a motor disability, injury, or preference — are stuck.
Focus Order Problems in eLearning Courses
When a learner presses Tab, the keyboard focus jumps around the slide in the wrong order. This is disorienting for anyone using a keyboard or screen reader.
Forms and Controls
Empty and Unlabelled Buttons in eLearning Courses
Buttons and clickable elements have no label — or a label that gives no useful information. Screen reader users hear only "Button" with no idea what it does.
Placeholder Text Used Instead of a Proper Form Label
Form fields use placeholder text as their only label. The moment a learner starts typing, the instruction disappears — and they cannot see what the field was asking for.
