PLEASE HELP - 2nd Request for course review - uploaded to Review 360
Hello - Based on the feedback I received from those that reviewed my previous versions, I revised the course and made several other additional changes since it was still lacking. The course has been ...
Really nice looking course, Lora. One point I would make is in the 'Why is Work-Life Balance Important?' lesson, where you have a 'click here' hyperlink.
This isn't particularly good practice from an accessibility or usability perspective, so I would suggest changing it something more actionable like "Read 5 Ways to Bust Stress in 5 Minutes or Less to learn about some quick stress-busting techniques that can help you in the moment" and hyperlink the 'Read 5 Ways to Bust Stress in 5 Minutes or Less' text.
Saying that, this is all very subjective at times, and just my personal preference. Other than that, really nice looking course 😀
Good point NeilForrest-ea7 and this isn't subjective. "Click here" is objectively a bad experience for Assistive Technology (AT) users. AT users have the ability to use shortcuts to read all links on a page. If all links have used the term "click here", the AT user will have a long list of meaningless "click here" links, rather than a link of lists with meaning, for example your good suggestion of: "Read 5 Ways to Bust Stress in 5 Minutes or Less"
Hi Sam,
Thank you for taking the time to review the course and providing your feedback!
I made the change as suggested to follow good practice for accessibility.
Completely agree SamHill, it is objectively bad practice, my point around subjectivity is aimed more at the general population who still consider it normal practice, or just don't understand accessibility requirements to that level.
My advice to anyone would be to develop a course that they (not you personally by the way!) think they have built with an accessibility first approach and then listen to it themselves through a screen reader. It's surprising how many changes you can still make to improve the experience for AT users, which in turn improves the experience for everyone as a whole.
