    the best course and content

  • Rowan Pierce gave 4 out of 5 stars

    This is a very informative and enjoyable course; I've learned a lot and would recommend it to anyone who wants an overview of the different aspects of web accessibility. I'm giving it four stars rather than five because I would have found it much easier if the video and text materials had contained the same information, rather than sometimes being slightly different. I either had to separately read the text and watch the video to pick up on a few small differences (spending extra time in the process), or play the video while reading the text and also making notes (lots of multitasking!). I also would have liked to know more about the considerations that go into planning, structuring and carrying out an accessibility review.

  • Oliverio Cruz Diaz gave 5 out of 5 stars

    This course provided invaluable insights into the critical importance of accessibility. It is an essential component of any successful product development process and should be a core competency for all involved. After mastering the basics of web accessibility, I delved deeper into the subject through advanced courses. I have successfully applied these learnings to ongoing projects and am eager to incorporate accessibility standards into a new project I am initiating.
