Designing Accessible Learning Content

Designing Accessible Learning Content is a game-changer for anyone looking to create truly inclusive learning experiences. As a learning professional, I've seen firsthand how this book helps bridge the gap between understanding accessibility standards like WCAG 2.2 and putting them into practice. In this second addition, Susi Miller does more than just explain the rules; she gives real-world strategies and examples that make designing accessible content attainable and effective

Practical, insightful and packed with advice and tips to ensure your learning is accessible and engaging for the widest audience. This is a 'must buy' manual for any learning designer that believes in equitable and inclusive learning provision. There is particular value in the storytelling and sharing of 'real life' best practices. A fantastic build on an invaluable first edition.

Susi Miller combines her own and others' lived experiences into an empathy-fuelled work that creates clarity and removes barriers for anyone seeking to understand how to produce accessible learning content and why. Her book has a compelling and comprehensive approach to digital accessibility and disability inclusion.


This second edition updates the standards with the nine new WCAG 2.2 Success Criteria and reflects Susi's extensive experience in training, consultancy and auditing. It emphasises practical strategies, such as testing and remediating existing content, and considers the limitations of authoring tools and organizational constraints. Additionally, Susi's diagnosis of dyslexia has transformed her writing process and perspective, adding a unique dimension to her work. Having already benefited from the first edition, I find that this new edition offers even more valuable insights and practical guidance. The updated standards and Susi's expanded experience provide a deeper understanding of how to implement accessibility strategies effectively. This book is recommended reading for any professional producing digital content.

This is that rarest of things, a book you not only read, but keep perched on the edge of your desk for reference. Susi has created the definitive translation and guide of the WCAG standards for L&D professionals. Having these guidelines, that often feel like they were deliberately written to be unintelligible, translated and explained in plain English is an invaluable resource for creating genuinely accessible experiences. This second edition builds on the success of the first, clarifying, distilling and expanding to include new success criteria. This is the book I ensure every member of my team has to hand. If you work in L&D, create digital content, or are simply interested in accessibility, you need to read Susi's book asap.

This is an indispensable guide for L&D professionals navigating the complexities of accessibility in the modern learning landscape. As new legislation, such as the European Accessibility Act, prioritises accessibility across private and public organizations, this book equips practitioners with the knowledge and practical tools they need to comply with these standards and go beyond mere compliance to create truly inclusive learning experiences. The book highlights the critical role of accessibility in advancing DEI, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to learn and thrive. It also shows how by embedding accessibility into learning design, organizations can maximize their return on training investments and future-proof their workforce development strategies.
