### Accessibility

This course is intended to meet government standards for access by people with disabilities. The following are some of the features that make the course accessible.

- Text Zoom
- Long Descriptions

Text Zoom

Internet Explorer zoom lets you enlarge or reduce the view of a webpage. Unlike changing just the font size, zoom enlarges or reduces everything on the page, including images. You can zoom from 10% to 1000%. To zoom in (or out) on a webpage:

1. Locate the magnifying glass icon (Change zoom level) in the bottom right corner of the Internet Explorer browser window.

2. Select the arrow to the right of the Change zoom level button.
   - To go to a predefined zoom level, select the desired percentage of enlargement or reduction.
   - To specify a custom level, select Custom. This will display the Custom Zoom popup window.
   - In the Percentage zoom box, type a zoom value (or use the up and down arrows to adjust the value).
   - Select OK.

Note: If you have a mouse with a wheel, hold down the CTRL key, and then scroll the wheel to zoom in or out.

Long Descriptions

Graphics are described in text for the visually impaired. This text is then read aloud by a screen reader.

For simple graphics, these required descriptions are provided by alternative text, which appears on-screen when you either roll over or tab to the graphic. For more complex graphics requiring a more detailed text description, a long description is used. The long description is accessed by selecting the "D" tag found near the graphic with the mouse pointer or tabbing to it using the keyboard.
