Instructional Design + Accessibility Review

Date: 2026-03-10 Scope: technical-training/ unit pages and track support pages

Findings (ordered by severity)

1. Medium - Early drafts lacked active-learning prompts.
   • Issue: pages were informative but mostly passive reading.
   • Action: added ## Quick activity section to each unit/reference page.
2. Low - Inconsistent depth and structure across units.
   • Issue: uneven comparability between units reduced instructional coherence.
   • Action: standardized section patterns (why, goals, anchors, workflow/discussion/resources) across pages.
3. Low - Visual-heavy pages need explicit alt text and attribution.
   • Issue: risk for accessibility and provenance clarity.
   • Action: ensured descriptive alt text in inserted image galleries and attribution notes per source family.

Accessibility checks applied

• Clear heading hierarchy (## sections under page titles).
• Descriptive link labels and explicit resource destinations.
• Images include non-empty alt text.

Engagement checks applied

• Added discussion prompts and quick activities.
• Added cross-links to journal club and dictionary for reinforcement.

Residual gaps

• No embedded captions/transcripts because source assets are static images.
• Could further improve with downloadable worksheet templates and rubric checklists.
