This Ergonomics training is currently available in Canvas. A video version is also offered in Canvas to provide an alternative that some users may find more accessible. A new version of the interactive training will be available in Workday in summer 2025.

This document summarizes the accessibility and usability barriers identified during testing of the interactive version, as well as how to get help.

Accessibility and usability barriers

The following information is provided to help people with disabilities know what potential barriers may exist. The training was created with Adobe Captivate Classic.

Keyboard navigation barriers may limit accessibility for some users, such as people with motor disabilities

Throughout the training, focus is not visible for most interactive elements. Additionally, rollover elements (where text or images appear on hover) are not accessible by keyboard.

Screen reader barriers may limit accessibility for some users, such as people who are blind or have low vision

Throughout the training, the reading order is often illogical. Additionally, the reading order does not restart upon moving to a new slide, so the user must navigate backward after selecting "Next" in order to access the new slide content.

Some images lack alt text, and many decorative shapes and other extraneous elements are included in the reading order. This could make it more difficult for screen reader users to access the informative content on each slide.

Rollover elements (where text or images appear on hover) are not accessible to screen reader users since they are not accessible by keyboard.

Magnification and reflow barriers may limit accessibility for some users, such as people who are color blind or have low vision

The slide content does not reflow, so the user can only magnify up to 150% before content begins to get cut off on the sides of each slide. 

Low contrast may limit accessibility for some users, such as people who are color blind or have low vision

There are a few instances of low contrast text in the training. 

1. A couple slides use light gray text that has only a 2.6:1 contrast ratio against the white slide background. 

2. Some interactive elements use light gray text that becomes dark gray on hover, which has only a 2.5:1 contrast ratio against the gray background in hover state.

3. One slide uses color-coded text to match the colors of dotted lines used in an infographic. Some of this color-coded text has extremely low contrast (less than 2:1 contrast ratio) against the white slide background. 

The slide with color-coded text and dotted lines may also cause difficulty for users who are color blind.
