Accessibility and usability barriers 

The following information is provided to help people with disabilities know what potential barriers may exist and to help people who support them. This is not a comprehensive list of barriers. Our team evaluates common user flows, looking for patterns of barriers. We do not evaluate the entire application.

Screen reader barriers limit access for individuals using screen readers, such as people who are blind or who have a learning disability.

When listening to the H5P interactions through a screen reader, it’s not clear what the elements are and what, as a user, you should be doing with them. Some buttons lack appropriate context or specific descriptions and navigation for a screen reader user to use well.  

Keyboard navigation barriers may limit access for people with motor disabilities.

Some keyboard focus indicators do not pass color contrast standards, which makes it difficult to follow the keyboard navigation.

Some contrast barriers and small text exist, creating barriers for people with low vision or who are color blind.

Some buttons, selected menu items, and keyboard focus indicators lack strong contrast, making it difficult to read. Some text around the H5P elements is very small.
