Accessible eLearning

WCAG for the Rest of Us

WCAG is confusing. That’s not your fault.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines were written by accessibility specialists for accessibility specialists — not for the people actually building training. You’ve probably tried to read it. Maybe your eyes glazed over at “success criteria” and “conformance levels.” Maybe accessibility just got added to your job description without any training.

You want to do the right thing. You just don’t know what the right thing is.

Accessible eLearning: WCAG for the Rest of Us translates the technical language of accessibility into plain English and shows you exactly how it applies to what you actually build — online courses, virtual sessions, job aids, and documents.

Written by Rachael Lundin, CPACC — an eLearning developer with 23 years in state government and a decade of building accessible training for 80,000+ employees — this is the book that bridges the gap between the guidelines and your actual work.
