Brightspace Learning Environment has an alternative Content experience that provides an intuitive way to create lessons aligned to standards, outcomes, and expectations.
1. From the course home page, go to Content. 2. Navigate to the module to which you wish to add content . 3. Click on the Upload/Create button.
The importance of accessible (and usable) online content cannot be overstated. Users with visual impairments rely heavily on assistive technology such as screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, etc.) to convert text into synthesized speech.This enables the user to listen to and comprehend the content. Users with various permanent, environmental, and/or situational limitations also use a variety of tools to assist them with navigating online content. Creating web (HTML) content in D2L can help such users gain equal access and become independent learners. Why is this important?
Bulleted (unordered) lists are used for a group of items without a sequence:
Copying and pasting the complete URL of a web page into a document creates a hyperlink automatically. Even though this is the easiest way to insert a link, the URL serves as the display text for the user and might become confusing for a screen reader or other user. Using descriptive link text provides the user with a clear understanding of the link destination. Screen reader users may skim a document by navigating from link to link. It is, therefore, important to avoid using ambiguous link text (such as “click here,” “read more,” or “link”) as it might become difficult to understand out of context.
Adequate contrast between the text foreground and background is important for users with low vision as well as other conditions. Something like the following text might be difficult to read for most users:
There are primarily two types of lists used: ordered and unordered. Numbered (ordered) lists are used to present a group of items (words, phrases, sentences) that follow a sequence or show an order of importance:
Lists add important hierarchical structure to a document. Sometimes users create "lists" manually by hitting Tab to indent content. While this provides visual structure for sighted users, it does not provide the document structure needed for assistive technology users.
When a course is active it becomes accessible to learners in the My Courses widget, and in the Select a Course menu. If no Start Date and End Date are set in the Course Offering Information the course is immediately available for learners to access.
Important Note:If a Start Dateand End Dateare set but the instructor does not select the Course is activecheck box, the course does not become accessible to learners on the selected Start Date. The course must be activated using the Course is activecheck box on the Course Offering Informationpage.
Tip: You can deactivate a course offering to hide it from learners without actually deleting it. This way the content (including user data) can be kept for future use.
