Creating Accessible Game-Based Learning Experiences
Creating accessible eLearning content is essential when it comes to ensuring that all students have access to training. An estimated 1.3 billion people experience significant disability. Despite this, only 20% of current online programs are accessible. One of the main reasons is the complexity involved in creating eLearning courses that are both accessible and engaging.
Currently, many organizations are turning to methodologies such as game-based learning, or GBL, to motivate and facilitate knowledge retention and guarantee its application to everyday situations and tasks. However, even though there are authoring tools available today that allow you to easily add games and interactive elements to eLearning courses, problems arise when these courses also have accessibility requirements.
This is because most of the authoring tools currently on the market do not comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and if they do, they require the content creator to take care of everything themselves. Faced with this situation, many companies choose to compromise on interactivity in their accessible courses.
