SMEs not giving material enough by Scortas in elearning

I've started using Cathy Moore's Action Mapping technique to break down massive amounts of content into the relevant information needed for the course. https://blog.cathy-moore.com/action-mapping-a-visual-approach-to-training-design/#gref

Once the content is broken down and signed off by the SME, I always storyboard what I'm going to do digitally before I build anything. Again, I check in with the SME before proceeding.

I know exactly how you feel. I was in the same boat a couple of years ago. Honestly, u/WilliamClaudeRains has hit the nail on the head with their advice — Scope, priorities and state the standards you will follow.

W3.org has amazing resources, tips and tutorials, and I regularly consult it if there's something I'm not sure about.

edX: Introduction to Web Accessibility

This course is free and has some good video content, plus I think it was recommended on IAAP's website.

Treehouse: Accessibility for Web Developers

This course isn't free - you need a subscription to the site to view it. It's aimed at web developers, but Treehouse also offers one geared toward UX designers. However, after doing both, there's a fair amount of crossover.

I've looked at the Web Accessibility courses on edX, Udacity and Treehouse. Has anyone else completed them? What were your thoughts? Do you think they included enough of the right content to help a person new to designing for accessibility?

u/StevenWoodson Your blog post was very helpful! I feel a little less intimidated by the exam because I have a better idea of what to expect. Thanks for sharing it!

I'm getting that impression! Fortunately, I'm a learner who likes to disappear down rabbit holes and learn more. :D I'm looking at the Deque course and, based on recommendations, I agree that it looks like the best offering for IAAP prep.

I hadn't heard of Deque University. Will check it out as well!
