Ensuring the accessibility of your exam paper Corporate Social Responsibility代考
Follow the template provided.
The exam paper template is set up to be as accessible as possible for most people without needing further changes. In particular, the headings and sub-headings are formatted so students can use a screen reader without missing anything. The formatting also means students viewing the paper in Word or Acrobat can use the navigation pane to click between each section and each question easily.
Enlarging the font size.
The easiest way is to enlarge the regular A4 version to A3. However, please make sure that any images, diagrams, etc are of sufficiently high resolution to still be readable once enlarged. Corporate Social Responsibility代考
Images & diagrams
Small images and diagrams should be included in the main paper wherever possible. This can be especially helpful for students with specific learning difficulties who might find it challenging switching their focus between different pieces of paper.
For larger images and diagrams that need to be provided on separate sheets, make sure they are clearly labelled, indicating which question(s) they relate to, eg ‘Diagram for question 9’.
Make sure the images are of sufficiently high resolution to allow for high quality reproductions if the paper needs to be enlarged for a student with a visual impairment.
Add in alt-text to provide a brief description of the image by right-clicking on the image to avoid disadvantaging students using a screen reader.
Quotes, tables and charts
Shorter quotes and small tables and charts should be included in the main paper wherever possible.
For longer quotes and larger tables and charts that need to be provided on separate sheets, make sure they are clearly labelled, indicating which question(s) they relate to, eg ‘Diagram for question 9’. Corporate Social Responsibility代考
Multiple pages
Where the exam paper stretches over several sides, ensure that questions are not split between pages. This includes sub-questions and options in multiple choice questions.
Where a blank page is required for formatting reasons, include the words [Blank Page] in the centre of that page.
Additional materials
Additional materials, for instance reference material, should be prepared using the same accessible format. An accessible Word template is available at: XXXXXX
Please remember that if the student needs the exam paper to be reformatted or printed on off-white paper, all the additional materials will need to be produced in that same alternative format.
