Running the Accessibility Checker 

Brightspace includes an Accessibility Checker in its editor that helps identify and fix accessibility issues within your HTML content. This tool scans for potential barriers and provides suggestions to improve accessibility.

Key features of the Accessibility Checker include: 

  • Detecting missing alternative text for images. 

  • Identifying incorrect heading structures. 

  • Checking table formatting for proper use of headers. 

  • Flagging issues related to contrast and color usage. 

Running the Accessibility Checker before publishing ensures your content meets accessibility guidelines and enhances usability for all students.
