Module 7: Interactive Exercises and Assessments

Engage in hands-on activities and quizzes to reinforce your learning.

Learning by doing is the most effective way to master new skills. In this module, we'll provide you with practical exercises and interactive activities to deepen your understanding of accessibility concepts and techniques. Let's dive in and get hands-on with accessibility!

1. Screen Reader Simulation: Experience firsthand how users with visual impairments interact with digital content by simulating a screen reader environment. Use screen reader software to navigate through a webpage or document, and gain insight into the challenges and opportunities for accessibility.

2. Color Contrast Checker Challenge: Test your understanding of color contrast guidelines by using a color contrast checker tool. Analyze different color combinations and determine whether they meet accessibility standards. Practice adjusting colors to ensure sufficient contrast for readability.

3. Alt Text Addition Exercise: Practice adding descriptive alternative text to images in documents or webpages. Choose images from a selection and craft alt text that effectively conveys the content and context of each image. Receive feedback on your alt text to improve your skills.

4. Captioning Practice: Enhance your captioning skills by transcribing and syncing captions for a video clip. Use captioning software or tools to add synchronized captions to the video, ensuring accessibility for users who are deaf or hard of hearing. Review your captions for accuracy and completeness.

5. Accessibility Checklist Challenge: Put your knowledge to the test by completing an accessibility checklist for a website or document. Identify accessibility issues and suggest solutions based on WCAG guidelines and best practices. Receive feedback on your responses to improve your understanding.
