Hi everyone! This is my first time posting, but I've been following discussions and weekly challenges for a few weeks now. I love how supportive everyone is and I am in awe of all the talent! I appreciate any suggestions.

Since I'm still learning, I decided to create an interaction to show ways to improve an original slide (label the parts of the brain) using each POUR principle. Here is what I changed:
P - Changed background from white to black and checked contrast using colourcontrast.cc
O - Changed drag-and-drop into a drop-down version
U - Changed the image alt-text from colors to locations for each section of the brain
R - Changed the question instructions from “Label the parts of the brain based on the picture" to “What are the parts of the brain in this order: a) top left, b) top right, c) middle left, d) middle right, and e) bottom”
I also tried out working with focus order and using NVDA screen reader. I did have a little trouble with the drop-down questions using NVDA but I'm not sure if I designed it poorly or just need more practice using the screen reader. 😆

Hey Angela, I loved your artifact and how you demonstrated how you made the content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. The only suggestion I'd have would be for the alt text, labeling "top left" and "top right" may not be sufficient unless the user knew which way the brain was facing.
Great work!
Great work!
- Oh! I didn't even think of that Jared. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll go in and add that.
