3. **Multiple means of engagement**
- learners differ in what engages and motivates them so multiple options should be provided

The following are some general guidelines that should help develop accessible learning content:

- **present the information in multiple ways and formats** - this helps support various learning styles and provides alternatives for different impairments
- **use simple language** - the materials should be accessible for the learners' varying levels of access, background, and ability
- an option is to provide additional resources to support learners that have comprehension difficulties
- **use headings** - assistive technologies differentiate the structural elements in the text (body text and different levels of headings). These help screen readers process the text correctly.
- **use table of content** - helps learners navigate to the required information easily
- **provide alternative text for images** - the alternative text is read by the screen reader instead of the image. Decorative images should be marked as decorative so that the screen reader can skip them.
- **use equation editors for math expressions** - this format helps screen readers understand the content
- **use a high contrast color palette** - high contrast supports learners with vision impairments
- **don't use color as the only way to convey information** - provide other alternative means for color blind learners
- **use descriptive links** - links to other documents should explain where the link is taking the learner
- **use tables only when required** - if a table is truly the best way to convey the information and not just a layout trick, then use column and row headers to describe the content
- **provide closed captions and transcripts** - to make the information in the video accessible to the vision impaired.
The following are some general tips and guidelines that should help develop accessible learning content:

!!! tip "Present the information in multiple ways and formats"

This helps support various learning styles and provides alternatives for different impairments.

!!! tip "Use simple language"
