Practical guide

Check a mini-lesson on a small screen before sharing it

What to know

Read before tapping

Open the learner view on a narrow screen and check whether the task, context and next action are visible without hunting. Long tables and tiny screenshots can hide the detail a question depends on. Replace a dense image with readable text when the text is the evidence. Our guidance follows general accessible-content principles; it is not a certification that a merchant or your lesson meets every accessibility requirement.

What to know

Follow the focus and headings

Use a keyboard where applicable and check that controls have understandable labels and visible focus. Headings should describe the structure instead of merely looking large. W3C’s page-structure guidance explains why meaningful regions and headings help navigation. Inspect the exported or shared learner experience, because an accessible editor does not by itself prove the finished lesson is equally usable.

What to know

Check explanations and alternatives

Make sure feedback appears where it can be found and does not depend only on color. Provide appropriate text alternatives for meaningful media and avoid making audio the only route to a necessary rule. Consider the actual reader’s device, connectivity and working context. A fancy interaction is not a benefit if it prevents the reader from reaching the explanation.

What to know

Record a bounded result

Capture what you checked, the device or viewport and any limitation. “Looked good on my laptop” is not a mobile review. Do not turn a small spot check into a universal accessibility claim. Fix the most consequential task obstacle, then repeat the affected path and confirm that navigation, feedback and the source reference still work together.

What to know

Try the longest realistic text

A short example can conceal a clipped control or feedback block. Include a plausible longer answer and explanatory paragraph in the prototype, then inspect wrapping and the route forward. Do not reduce text to illegible sizes merely to preserve a desktop arrangement.

Choose sharing according to the material and audience; an unlisted link is not the same as verified restricted access.
