How to curate ADA standards for barrier courses
Architect Forum
In the recent decade, online learning has become
the most convenient way of learning for working
professionals as well as for the students who are
involved in a full-time or part-time job.
The course curator and the subject matter expert
often unaware of taking some strategies to adapt
their courses to meet the ADA compliances. During
the process of online course design, the academic
platforms should take an approach to compliance
with the Americans with the Disabilities Act.

Now, what is ADA Compliances in Online Education?

• The term Accessible highlights the aspect of
  any person with a disability is bestowed with the
  opportunity to get the same information, can
  engage with similar interactions, and can
  independently avail of the same services which a
  learner without disability has in an equally
  integrated manner.

• The online education course offerings including
  the PPT, PDF, tutorials, websites, videos,
  application software must be equally accessible
  to the students, staff, modulators, faculty with
  disabilities.

Lets discuss some strategies to modulate
accessible courses that meet the ADA compliance

• Use Hyperlink text to replace the naked URL

Readability is one of the foremost criteria to
maintain ADA standards for barrier courses. The
instructors must not place the naked URL.
Instead, they put anchor text and limits within a
short sentence to increase readability.

• Simple text design with least variation

Sans Serif fonts like Arial and Helvetica or
Calibri are recommended to use when designing
informational material. Sans Serif is the easiest
to read as this font does not feature additional
strokes attached to the alphabets and punctuation
marks.

• Careful use of images and Graphics

Even images and graphics are bound to design
according to the ADA regulations as they
exemplify the content. They must be clearly
visible, relevant to the content, easy to notice,
and in high resolution. Animated or blinking are
better to avoid.

• Transcription for Audio and Video Items

The audio and video items designed for ADA
standards for barrier courses require clear
sound, minimal background noise, and high
resolutions clippings, and consistent volume.
Both video and audio files require written
transcription, also known as closed-captioning to
meet ADA guidelines.
