    Answer: A text version of all audio and visual information; required for audio-only content at Level A

    WCAG 1.2.1 requires a text transcript for audio-only pre-recorded content so deaf users can access the information.

  4. Which practice ensures that online discussion forums are accessible to users with disabilities?

    Semantic HTML, image alt text, and keyboard navigation collectively ensure forum content is accessible to screen reader and keyboard-only users.

    WCAG 3.3.1 requires that if an input error is automatically detected, the item in error is identified and the error is described to the user in text.

  6. Which tool is commonly used to evaluate the accessibility of a web-based course for WCAG 2.1 compliance?

    Answer: WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool)

    WAVE is a widely used free web accessibility evaluation tool developed by WebAIM that identifies WCAG issues directly in the browser.

  7. A student with a motor disability uses switch access to navigate online courses. Which WCAG principle most directly supports this need?
