Accessibility

To insure validation & compatibility:

• background color

• links are text, not images

•  checking on W3C & other programs

•  page contrast

• semantic mark-up is used (e.g., marking headers)

•  student pages

•  font color

• pages open within same window, or, if in a different window, are clearly labeled

•  instructor pages & tools

• font style 

• text links make sense when read out of context

• administrator pages & tools

• font size

• keyboard equivalence to mouse actions

• compatibility with text-to-speech readers

• good Alt tags

• understandable linear version of the page (e.g., logical tab order, labels clearly associated with input boxes or other form elements)
