Designing Accessible Learning Content

- Reviews -

"Every eLearning designer needs this book on their desk! So much of the accessibility guidance out there is written for programmers and assumes you are creating websites. Finally, we have a resource just for us. This book will save you countless hours of frustratingly confusing research. Susi Miller' s masterful reference guide on eLearning accessibility demystifies everything from why accessibility matters all the way down to complying with each individual WCAG standard. Complete with clear language explanations and helpful screen captures, you' ll finally have the answers you' ve been searching for. " * Diane Elkins, Co-owner, Artisan E-Learning and E-Learning Uncovered * "This is an invaluable guide for L&D practitioners giving the how and why of making learning content accessible. It brings together an extensive range of resources and practical advice in one place and will likely become a standard work in our field. " * Donald H Taylor, Chair, Learning Technologies Conference * "Susi Miller combines her own and others' lived experience into an empathy-fueled work that creates clarity and removes barriers for anyone seeking to understand how to produce accessible learning content and why. Her book has a compelling and comprehensive approach to digital accessibility and disability inclusion, which really brings the subject to life. This is recommended reading for any professional producing digital content. " * Michael Vermeersch, Digital Inclusion Lead, Microsoft * "I know from working with Susi Miller through the eLearning Network that she is not only passionate about accessibility in eLearning design but also extremely knowledgeable about what is required by those of us creating eLearning. It comes as no surprise that she' s made this book accessible in the way she' s structured it and the language she uses! This will surely become a must-read for all eLearning professionals; after all, making better learning experiences for all learners is what we are (or should be) all about!" * Joan Keevill, Director, Designs on Learning, and Chair of the eLearning Network * "I wish I had this book when I started working with accessible eLearning. Susi Miller does a fantastic job of showing why eLearning professionals need to ensure that their training needs to be accessible, while also providing, through the eLearning accessible framework that she proposes, a practical way of making it happen. I' m looking forward to putting what I learned here into practice and recommending the book whenever I' m discussing eLearning and accessibility. " * Kevin Gumienny, Senior Consultant, Guidehouse * "Digital accessibility can be a tough and technical subject to tackle, but Susi has broken down complex guidelines and carefully brought them to life through using her personal learning journey, practical examples and how-to illustrations. It is an essential read for any eLearning practitioner. " * Grant Broome, Digital Inclusion Strategist and Director, DIG Inclusion Ltd. * "Designing Accessible Learning Content is a unique and much-needed resource for L&D practitioners struggling with the complexities of eLearning accessibility. The wealth of background knowledge it provides, combined with practical frameworks, clear explanations and examples make this a vital handbook for anyone who believes that designing inclusive learning content is the right thing to do. " * Dr Nasser Siabi OBE, CEO, Microlink PC * "Before instructional designers understand how to develop accessible eLearning, they often fall back on providing a written course transcript. However, armed with modern eLearning authoring tools and the information found in this book, author Susi Miller suggests that ' as eLearning professionals become more familiar with designing accessible content, they find ways of making all learning content inclusive without needing to provide accessible alternatives' (emphasis mine). If you aspire to develop universally accessible eLearning, look no further than this comprehensive, plain-language guide. " * Chris Willis, Director of Product, Lectora, eLearning Brothers * "At a time where everything is changing, acquiring new skills is of paramount importance. Now more than ever learning is being delivered online and remotely. If we want everyone to have an equal chance of acquiring new skills, learning content needs to be accessible. In this book, Susi Miller demystifies and explains what learning and development professionals need to know in order to make their content work for the widest possible learner base. The work recognizes the difference between standard web content and learning materials and offers practical and pragmatic advice on accessible content creation. " * Neil Milliken, Global Head of Accessibility (Atos Group), Atos *
