5.4. QMplus Courses

In QMplus:

  • Courses that require scrolling are not easy to navigate when using assistive technologies. The collapsed topic format reduces vertical scrolling and allows you to highlight a particular section or current section. 
  • Provide structure, headings and sign-posting by adding informative description for topics. These will inform students what they are going to learn in a particular section. Ensure that you use labels that contain QMplus headings as this enables visually impaired students to navigate through your course using screen reading software.
  • Make sure your resources and activities have meaningful names and description. Adding no description provides no context to students and adding a long description risks excluding text-impaired (e.g. dyslexic) students and increase the vertical scrolling within your QMplus course.
  • Enable completion tracking feature, this allows students to see what they have previously viewed/completed which enables them to define their own pace of learning.
