WordPress provides flexibility, ease of use, customization options, and the ability to integrate with other tools, making it a strong choice as an eLearning platform. Content published in a WordPress Learning Management System (LMS) needs to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). However, following WCAG is not enough. We want to make sure that students have a great experience. To build a great learning experience, we need to do more than follow the rules.

With so many themes and plugins, how do you choose which are accessible, robust and produce engaging interactions that meet your intended learning objectives?

In this session, we’ll talk about ways to go beyond checklists, explore Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and accessibility best practices to evaluate WordPress tools and create digital learning content that is accessible and easy to use.
