    Checklist for Blackboard WCM Content Editors

    While creating website content it is crucial to consider accessibility. There are a few basic steps that should be followed in order to assure your content is accessible:

    - Add built-in headings to document and do not skip numbers (e.g. jumping from Heading 1 to Heading 3) 

    - Use built-in list options (e.g. bullets or numbers) 

    - Add alt text for all links 

    - Add alt text for all images 

    - Define table headers and simplify tables as much as possible
