Accessibility Guide for H5P Mark the Words

Important Reminders

This activity is not accessible with screen reading software like JAWS and NVDA.  The reading order is not logical and may be very confusing for users.  H5P added a “text only” version of the question text, not visible on screen.  This requires a user of screen reading software to read the text of all the questions in the activity first, then read the questions again and attempt to find the words to mark.

The structure of the activity is another significant accessibility barrier.  While the activity may visually appear to have sentences, and a beginning and end, it is programmed as a list of words.

The Mark the Words activity type is not recommended for use until H5P implements recommended fixes for these and other accessibility barriers that have been reported.

Several significant accessibility barriers have been documented with this activity.  Provide an alternative activity that is usable with screen reading software.  This activity may be usable with very short groups of words or sentences, but not with multiple sentences or long passages of content.
