Platform behavior to verify
Check keyboard access, focus order, labels, error messages, and visible states across key workflows.
Review whether core pages and controls work with screen readers and zoom.
Confirm that login, enrollment, assignment, and assessment paths are usable without mouse-only actions.
Content standards to enforce
Set expectations for captions, transcripts, heading structure, alt text, and readable layouts.
Require accessible document templates for files that will live inside the LMS.
Review whether the LMS preserves or damages accessibility when content is uploaded or embedded.
Procurement questions
Ask for accessibility documentation, known limitations, and a path for reporting issues.
Check whether accessibility fixes are part of the vendor's normal release process.
Confirm whether custom themes or plugins can degrade accessibility.
Next steps
Test the learner and admin paths that matter most.
Review sample content with assistive technologies if possible.
Record any accessibility gaps before final approval.
- Test keyboard navigation and screen readers.
- Review captions, transcripts, and document templates.
- Ask for documented accessibility limits and fixes.
