The Designing Accessible Learning Content Programme
An award-winning, practical programme designed to help learning practitioners create learning content that is accessible, inclusive, and more effective for everyone. Built from real-world experience, the Designing Accessible Learning Content Programme helps individuals and teams bridge the gap between accessibility standards and day-to-day learning design.
Why DALC is Different
DALC is designed for learning practitioners who need practical, reliable ways to create accessible learning content.
Expert-led, practitioner-led
Created by Susi Miller, the programme blends insights from Designing Accessible Learning Content with real-world experience across multiple sectors. It’s credible, practical, and easy to apply straight away.
A strategic, real-world approach
DALC goes beyond individual fixes. It focuses on practical strategies for implementing accessibility across learning content, including testing, remediation, maturity models, and working within real organisational and tool constraints.
On-demand and self-paced
The DALC Programme is fully self-access and available on demand. You can start as soon as you sign up and work through the modules at your own pace, with access to all lessons and resources for 12 months.
Meets WCAG 2.2
The programme demonstrates what good accessibility looks like in practice. It shows how learning content can meet the latest WCAG 2.2 standards using widely used authoring tools, while taking a pragmatic approach to tool limitations.
Applicable to any authoring tool
DALC supports learning practitioners working with any eLearning authoring tool. Examples throughout the programme explore how multiple tools support accessibility, helping you apply good practice far beyond a single platform.
Fully supported throughout
Support includes glossaries, module checklists, testing activities, tips, issue alerts, recaps, FAQs, and accessibility statements. Learners can also use the online discussion forum for guidance throughout.

Turning Accessibility Standards Into Practical Action
The DALC Programme was created by Susi Miller after years of supporting learning practitioners who wanted to make their learning content accessible, but kept running into the same problem: plenty of standards, not enough practical guidance. DALC closes that gap with clear, step-by-step support that shows you what good looks like, how to test properly, and how to fix issues in a way that improves the learning experience for everyone.
- Because WCAG can be hard to apply to learning content without examples, context, and a practical framework.
- Because most training explains what the standards say, but not how to confidently test, fix, and improve real resources.
- Because accessibility is about learners, not just compliance, and getting it right improves clarity, usability, and outcomes for everyone.
- Because learning teams need something that works with real tools, real constraints, and real organisational pressure.
