Anything you can do to add meaningful structure to a lesson page will make the content more understandable for everyone. Breaking page content down into bite-sized, readable pieces—or what we often call "chunking content"—starts with a good heading structure. Adding headings is one of the simplest yet most helpful ways you can make a course more accessible. While headings are crucial for screen reader users, they play a role in helping everyone understand content.

Screen readers will only recognize true HTML headings—that is, text that is surrounded by heading tags like <h1> and <h2>—not headings that are just visually styled with bold or enlarged text. Using various heading levels also provides readers with an outline of the page and helps to establish relationships between different pieces of content.

This module also covers lists and Evolution-provided navigation tool snippets such as tabs and accordions. For more information about Evolution, see the Evolution section of WCLD 101.
