The document discusses accessibility in online content. It addresses different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and user lifestyles (podcasts, reading speed, downloads vs streaming). It provides tips for objectives, content planning, storyboarding, diagrams, permissions, transcribing, captions, templates, and presentation of content. The overall message is that accessibility benefits people with visual/hearing impairments, motor difficulties, attention spans, portability needs, and language learning through improved production and inclusion of everyone.

• Ambient noise, lack of speakers and/or
headphones
• Heavy accents, muddled speakers
• Cochlear implants
• Learning to read/learning a language

13. Creating a STEM Diagram
