This standard is part of a broader commitment to accessibility and usability, making sure that all learners, regardless of their individual needs, can effectively engage with course materials. This involves providing accessible video and audio content, using design elements consistently to make navigation intuitive, and ensuring that multimedia content is not only accessible but also easy for all students to use, is accessible across various platforms (Mac, PC, mobile), and regardless of bandwidth.
