See this course’s project requirements

Deliver the repaired workshop notice and the review evidence assembled across all six lessons.

Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.

What to include

  • Provide clear event facts, action instructions and meaningful link labels.
  • Show a semantic heading outline and logical reading order.
  • Record image alternatives and a justified contrast decision.
  • Provide timed captions and a descriptive transcript for the sample clip.
  • Attach a keyboard trace, issue statuses and a scoped handoff.

Review and revise

Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.

  • Clarity: essential facts and actions are understandable without visual guessing.
  • Structure: hierarchy and reading order match content relationships.
  • Equivalence: visuals and media have meaningful text support.
  • Evidence: tests and remaining limits are documented honestly.

Before you begin

The idea in everyday life

Your notice now has several layers: understandable text, semantic structure, visual alternatives, prepared media and keyboard evidence. These layers work together, but a short review cannot prove accessibility for every person or tool. The final packet will show observable improvements and remaining checks, making it useful to a future editor without overstating conformance.

The idea

An improvement claim should name the change, the evidence and its remaining scope.

Try it

One step at a time.

Use the sample or information you have permission to use. Keep your work as you go. You can pause between steps.

  1. 1

    Assemble the revised notice from lessons one and two. Confirm that the main action, date and location survived every edit, and that the heading outline still reflects the content relationship.

  2. 2

    Attach the image decisions and contrast record. Separate fixture-based choices from measurements on an implemented document. Preserve the chart’s exact counts in the text equivalent.

  3. 3

    Add the caption script and descriptive transcript. State whether they are prepared assets or reviewed playback files; untested timing and player operation remain open when no clip was produced.

  4. 4

    Attach the keyboard trace and barrier note. For every issue, name its impact, proposed repair and verification status. Use pending rather than pass when the relevant check was not performed.

  5. 5

    Write a concise handoff describing the tested scope and next review. Use an improvement statement such as "content revised and listed checks completed" rather than claiming full WCAG or legal compliance.

Example

See how it works.

Fictional handoff: "The repair workshop notice now states its date, location, cost and practice-only action. Three semantic section headings support navigation. Capacity information is available as text, and the selected body-text fixture meets the 4.5:1 target. Captions and a descriptive transcript are drafted from the storyboard. The sample keyboard trace identifies a missing Save action and describes a repair. Actual document contrast, media playback and the implemented form still need testing." This handoff gives a future editor concrete work to inspect. It avoids turning a limited learning review into a certification or a guarantee about every user’s experience.

Check your work

Did you cover these?

  • All five lesson outputs are included.
  • Each check has a specific status and evidence.
  • The handoff makes no blanket compliance claim.

What to finish

A revised content packet with evidence, issue status and scoped handoff.

Common mistake

Watch for this

Marking untested checks as passed to make the packet appear complete.

How can I tell I understand it?

A reviewer can distinguish completed changes from pending verification.
