Offer text-based options and make sure each illustration has an alternative text (alt text) description. (1.1.1 Non-text Content and 1.4.5 Images of Text) Hide decorative illustrations. Purely decorative illustrations don’t need alt text. In fact, you can hide them from accessibility tools to prevent unnecessary announcements from screen readers. Meet color contrast guidelines. Use a web-based contrast checker or download a contrast checker tool to test the contrast ratio of your illustrations. (1.4.11 Non-text Contrast and 1.4.3 Contrast [Minimum] if your illustration has text) Minimize distractions. Avoid unnecessary background illustrations since they add visual clutter.

Turn on the accessible video controls in Storyline 360's modern player for a more inclusive and flexible learning environment. (2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide). Use audio descriptions where necessary. Include audio descriptions that narrate important visual details not conveyed through dialogue. This practice gives learners with visual disabilities access to all the necessary information and allows them to understand the content thoroughly. (1.2.5 Audio Description [Prerecorded]). Keep your language simple. Use plain language in your video content and descriptions. Straightforward and clear language helps your audience easily read and understand the information. Avoid distracting videos. Stick with non-flashing videos. Content that flashes, blinks, or flickers more than three times per second is distracting and can trigger seizures in learners with photosensitive epilepsy. (2.3.1 Three Flashes or Below Threshold).
