Hey Howard,

Many thanks for your very useful comments.

This is a very interesting type of assessment, but I think it would fit much better in a future curriculum for accessibility testers. I feel more comfortable with an assessment along the lines of students visiting a website, identifying inaccessible elements, and proposing accessible alternatives.

For example, Clear Content -> Titles and Link Text:

[[
practical — Have students visit a page with inaccessible title and link text. Ask students to identify inaccessible examples and to propose accessible alternatives for the inaccessible examples. Assess how students identify inaccessible titles and link text and propose accessible alternatives.
]]

I'd say the same applies for the other modules where you suggest a similar approach. If so, I will work on adding similar examples.

Would you be OK with that?
