- Make accessibility an ongoing part of the course development process.
- Test from the perspective of the learner.
- Translate complex interactive exercises in figurative ways that convey the learning experience.

“Keeping Online Learning Accessible” concludes by noting: “Achieving accessibility can expand markets for your courses while demonstrating your commitment to the principles of universal access and learner-centered learning.”
