SharePoint is not an elearning authoring tool. It’s a web-based platform that allows us to create, manage, and share content which many organisations have readily available. Its ease of use and availability makes it a popular option to deliver online courses or training materials, but it may not be very accessible for all learners. This can affect how they learn and perform.
This checklist can be used as a guide to ensure that your SharePoint pages are accessible and follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA level.
The checklist follows the four principles in which the WCAG guidelines are developed: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. It covers the principles in a practical order that applies to the components of SharePoint pages and how they are developed.
The checklist includes best-practice accessibility tips on web design as these often apply to SharePoint and other intranet tools.
