In this post, we’ll explain how TheEduAssist.com training helps make learning on Thinkific simple, smooth, and fair for all. We’ll also show the tools we use, how we set things up, and why it all matters in 2025 and beyond.
What Does “Accessible” Mean?
A course is accessible when everyone can use it, no matter their abilities. That includes people who:
- Cannot hear well
- Cannot see clearly
- Cannot use a mouse
- Learn differently
- Need more time to read or answer.
We follow the 2025 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative guidelines. These rules help course creators make sure every learner has the same chance to succeed.
How TheEduAssist.com Builds Accessible Thinkific Courses
We add smart tools and design tricks to every course we build. Let’s look at what we do and how it helps.
1. Closed Captions and Video Transcripts
Many learners can’t hear well or prefer to read. So, every video in our courses includes:
- Closed captions (words on the screen while the video plays)
- Downloadable transcripts (a full text version of the video)
How we do it:
We upload the video, use tools like Otter.ai to create captions, fix any errors, and add them to the Thinkific video player.
This way, learners can watch, read, or do both!
2. Screen-Reader Friendly Layout
Some learners use screen readers, tools that read the text on the screen out loud.
To help them, we:
- Use simple, clear layouts
- Add labels to all buttons and links.
- Make sure the menus are easy to follow.
- Avoid messy designs that confuse screen readers.
How we do it:
We use Thinkific’s custom theme editor and check everything using tools like WAVE and NVDA.
3. Keyboard Navigation Support
Not everyone uses a mouse. Some learners need to use their keyboard only.
We make sure our accessible Thinkific courses work with:
- Tab keys
- Enter keys
- Arrow keys
It makes it easier for everyone to move around the course.
4. High Contrast and Easy-to-Read Fonts
Colors matter. If text and background colors don’t have enough contrast, some people can’t read the text.
We always use:
- Strong color contrast (meets WCAG 2.2 standards)
- Clean fonts (like Arial or Open Sans)
- Bigger text sizes
- Enough space between lines
How we do it:
We change Thinkific default styles using custom CSS and test contrast using the WebAIM contrast checker.
5. Alt Text for Images
If a learner can’t see an image, we describe it using alt text.
We add alt text to:
- All pictures
- Charts and graphs
- Icons and buttons
This way, screen readers can explain what’s on the screen, even if the learner can’t see it.
6. Simple Layouts for Cognitive Support
Some learners need help with focus or memory. To support them, we design:
- Clear titles and headings
- Short, simple sentences
- Bullet lists
- Consistent page designs
These steps help reduce stress and improve learning.
7. Easy-to-Use Quizzes
We design all quizzes to be:
- Clear and simple
- Free of extra noise or distractions
- Keyboard-friendly
- Flexible on time if needed
Our TheEduAssist.com training team knows that a stressful quiz can hurt learning. That’s why we offer extra support when needed.
