I've put together the below instructions which could be made visible when the learner selects an Accessibility icon/button (available at all times) or just displayed on a slide early on in every course. How does this sound?

Accessibility

This course meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. To access additional accessibility controls, select the ‘gear’ icon (bottom left) at any time. These controls include:

Zoom to fit – allows you to view the course using the zoom settings in your browser to make slides bigger and easier to see (laptop and desktop computers only).

Accessible text – allows you to make all course text accessible so it can be accessed via screen readers.

Keyboard shortcuts – allows you to use keyboard shortcuts (currently enabled) to operate and navigate the course (laptop and desktop computers only). For a full list of keyboard shortcuts press Shift+? at any time.

    Great question, Brian! I love the idea of letting learners know about these controls up front. On the general navigation slide, for example. Thanks for taking the time to write out those handy instructions and sharing them with the community! :)
