Web accessibility means designing digital content and platforms so that people with disabilities — including visual, auditory, motor and cognitive impairments — can perceive, understand, navigate and interact with them. The international benchmark is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), organised around four principles: content should be Perceivable, Operable, Understandable and Robust, with conformance levels A, AA and AAA (AA being the common legal and procurement standard). In learning, accessibility covers captions and transcripts for video, alternative text for images, full keyboard navigation, sufficient colour contrast, screen-reader compatibility and accessible documents. Beyond meeting legal obligations, accessible design improves usability for everyone and ensures that training and education are genuinely inclusive, so that no learner is excluded by the way content is built or delivered.
