Block Accessibility Updates

As accessibility updates occur, I am wondering if there is a best practice, or I should say, an efficient process to update the selected blocks in all the courses that I have previously created.  For example, if I have to redo/update a process block that was preciously created, do I need to recreate it from scratch... or is there a magic button I can use to update that specific block to now be accessible without recreating it?

  • Hi AnnFredriksson,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    This is a great question, and I'm sure it's one many creators are curious about. Currently, there isn't a way to automatically update existing blocks to make them accessible. Updates need to be made manually, either by editing the current block or recreating it with accessibility in mind. Here are a few resources that you may find helpful:

    One thing that can help save time moving forward is using block templates. Once you’ve created an accessible version of a block, you can save it as a template and reuse it across lessons and courses. I’ll open this conversation up to the community to learn how users are streamlining this process. I’m happy to share any feedback with our team!

      Thanks, Kelly.  I was pretty sure there was no magic switch, but I appreciate your confirmation of that and the additional resources.
