Description

Type of feedback

This quiz is not accessible for blind WordPress users and learners.

Description

It relies on images and icons, not on concepts, so I had to play it on probabilities. Then correcting myself reading which answer was right or wrong.
Please consider improving the quiz.
For example, being blind, I can't know what "six dots", "v icon", "icon shaped as a B", and so on.
Please consider making courses more accessible.
You've talked about accessibility explaining about alternative text and so on, and I noticed you always provide alt texts in screenshots. But please adopt accessibility even in quizzes.
