Scenario

An online learning opportunity appears

“Join a free online course to build digital skills and explore future opportunities. Registration closes soon.”

The message includes a registration link. It does not clearly explain who created the course, how long it takes, whether there are later costs, what personal information is required, whether it works on a low-data connection, or what happens after the course.

Localisation note: [To be adapted with Girl Effect India/local language specialists]

  • Is “I need more information” a valid answer? Why?
  • When could asking someone for support help?
  • What could a programme change to reduce access barriers?

Accessibility compliance note

Designed for flexible and inclusive participation

This prototype applies WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 Level AAA-oriented practices, Universal Design principles and Universal Design for Learning. It uses semantic headings, keyboard-operable controls, visible focus, clear labels, strong text contrast, no colour-only meaning, optional text-to-speech, adjustable text size, reduced-motion support, plain language, no required time limit, and multiple ways to participate.

The activity does not require personal disclosure and stores responses only in the current browser session. A final production version should be tested with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, magnification, speech input, switch access where relevant, mobile devices, and localised language versions before deployment.

BeAccessible accessibility-by-design approach

Brand colours, typography, interaction patterns and accessibility requirements are applied consistently across this prototype.
