Generally clean pages. You have clearly given thought to their accessibility design. Suggestion: in long, multiline list of anchors at bottom, end each line but the last with " | " to indicate this is a terminator, even at the end of the line, there are more on the next line. (unnecessary when tabbing through them, but useful for screen magnifiers.) On your distance learning page, tabbing through links misses the headings that categorize the following lists of anchors. With so many links that is a lot to go through linearly. Consider using a hierarchy first of topics, each of which is linked to its dozen or so more detailed links. On that page the comma terminators consistently serve the purpose of the within-line separators " | " in the other pages and at the bottom of that page. However, a comma is a small character, and may be missed for low-vision. Regards/Harvey Bingham
