Description:
Part 2 of this course covers additional accessibility considerations beyond captions, transcripts, audio descriptions, and sign language interpretation, which were covered in Part 1.
They are:
Clear audio: Prominent background sounds make it difficult for people who are hard of hearing to understand the spoken words.
Preventing seizures: Flashing visual effects in videos can cause seizures in some people.
Preventing dizziness: Some people with vestibular disorders can become dizzy, nauseous, or disoriented when there is excessive motion in video or animated content.
Accessible media player: The media player itself has to be keyboard-accessible and needs to communicate the names, roles, and values of the controls and the states of the controls.
Preventing auto-play audio interference with screen readers: Media players that auto-play can interfere with screen reader users' ability to hear their screen reader.
