It turns out that human beings have been saying variations of this truism almost as long as we have been putting things down in writing, and probably long before then as well. So I got to thinking about the ubiquitous nature of this saying.

Following these guidelines will make our eLearning content accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities but they’ll often make our content more usable to everyone in general which is really what we need to be thinking about.
