Why eLearning Accessibility Isn't Just About Compliance

While section 508 compliance is a factor to consider, the primary aim of eLearning accessibility should be inclusivity. Online learners should have access to support resources, knowledge checks, and other training tools whenever the need arises. Otherwise, eLearning roadblocks that only grant that privilege to a select few might be erected, for example, by creating courses that exclude learners with visual impairments. In short, making eLearning accessible boosts engagement, retention, and comprehension because there aren't any tech hurdles standing in the way.
