Accessibility and Colour contrast of New Learner Experience, Visual Table of Contents widget
Hello,
We've recently had an accessibility audit and there has been various colour contrasts that don't meet minimum standards and need a higher contrast.
However the following aspects I can't work out where we could edit the settings to change the colours:
New Learner Experience - the navigation on the left hand side where shows which topic you are on, when you are on the focus of the topic:
On the navigation in content there are interactive <div> elements present which receive a
border and background colour change upon focus.
However, due to the border colour of #B1B9BE compared to the background colour of
#FFFFFF, the contrast ratio only meets 1.99:1, instead of the minimum ratio requirement of
3:1.
This means that users with colour blindness, low vision, or other visual impairments may
find it difficult to interact with this button element
Visual Table of Contents Widget:
The first tile is difficult to see the focus due to already containing a blue
border to denote that it is the currently active topic to complete.
The blue of the border is #B1C4E2, and the darker blue highlight is #3F6EBA, meaning the
contrast ratio only meets 2.9:1, instead of the minimum ratio requirement of 3:1.
This means that users with colour blindness, low vision, or other visual impairments may
find it difficult to interact with this button element.
Various other things have been flagged with the labels for the elements on the visual table of contents, which I know we haven't got any control over, so will be sharing these with our Customer Success Manager to share with D2L accessibility team.

Hi Christina,
As you have suggested, please share the information with your Customer Success Manager. In addition to this you can always raise a case with the D2L Support team with the issues you have identified. These will be passed onto the appropriate internal teams to manage and provide a resolution where feasible. Through the case you'll also be updated with progress the team is making to resolve, and acts as a focal point for conversations with your Customer Success Manager.
Hope that helps!
