For the items in a course, we can see the accessibility percentage of each one by looking at the speedometer. If we click it, the item we are analyzing will be displayed on the screen, along with a panel on the right showing the accessibility score obtained and an explanation of the problem or problems found.

For example, it is very common for an image not to have a description. We can review the information Ally provides, which explains what an image description is and why it is important. Further down, we can add the description and save it. If we do so, we will see that the accessibility score for the image increases.

If the image is purely decorative, the correct approach is to mark it as such so that it does not appear, for example, in screen readers.

If we now focus on a document, we will see that the information indicates that its language has not been defined. In the panel, we will find information about the importance of defining this parameter and the steps to remediate our files.

Let’s follow the steps: we download the file, add the language as indicated depending on the editor we have, and save it. We upload it again, directly in the Ally panel, which will replace the original document with this improved version. The accessibility score for the file then increases.

We will continue this way for each item in the course until we achieve the highest score... but don’t feel overwhelmed! It is important that we review and improve the original file, but the student already has an accessible version, so there is no urgency.
