WCAG 2.2 Accessibility Scenario Learning Hub
A guided course for learning accessibility through realistic, industry-grounded product scenarios. Each scenario carries a unique real-world example, plain-language explanation, and a direct reference to the official WCAG 2.2 Understanding document.

1.4.5 — Images of Text
Use real text, not pictures of text (except logos or where the exact look is essential).
Screenshots of text used as the primary content (release notes, quotes, error messages) — not the "essential" exception.
Email-style hero images reused on web pages with all copy inside the image.
Charts whose axis labels/legends could be HTML/SVG-text but are rasterized.
Text in <canvas> when HTML text would suffice.
Social-media quote cards embedded as sole representation of the quote.
Customization defense misused: no mechanism actually exists for users to adapt the imaged text.

1.4.10 — Reflow
At 320px width (400% zoom on desktop) content must reflow into one column with no horizontal scrolling and nothing missing.
When the page reflows at small width / high zoom, some content or controls simply disappear with no other way to reach them.
Horizontal scrolling required for vertically-scrolling content at 320 CSS px (400% zoom on 1280) — fixed-width layouts.
Fixed-width containers/tables (non-data), iframes, or embeds forcing 2D scroll.
Glossary
- Accessible name
- The short name assistive technology uses for a control — often from a label, aria-label, or associated text.
- Alt text (text alternative)
- The written description of an image that screen readers read aloud instead of the image.
- ARIA
- A set of HTML attributes that explain roles, names, and states to assistive technologies when native HTML is not enough.
- Assistive technology (AT)
- Tools people with disabilities use to operate software: screen readers, magnifiers, voice control, switch devices.
- Contrast ratio
- A measured difference between text (or a graphic) and what sits behind it; higher ratios are easier to see.
- Focus / keyboard focus
- The single element currently 'selected' by the keyboard — where Enter/Space/typing will act. Moved with Tab.
- Focus indicator
- The visible highlight that shows which element currently has keyboard focus.
- Focus order / tab order
- The sequence elements are reached when pressing Tab repeatedly.
- Keyboard trap
- A situation where keyboard focus moves into a component and cannot move out using standard keys.
- Landmark
- A page region such as banner, navigation, main, or contentinfo that screen-reader users can jump between.
- Live region / status role
- Markup (for example aria-live or role="status") that tells screen readers to announce updates without moving focus.
- Programmatically determinable
- Available in code so software — not only human eyes — can read the information reliably.
- Reading order
- The order assistive technology reads content, which follows the DOM sequence rather than pure visual placement.
- Screen reader
- Software such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, or TalkBack that speaks or brailles interface content and controls.
- Semantic markup
- Using HTML elements that match meaning (headings, lists, tables, buttons) instead of generic styled containers alone.
- Viewport
- The visible browser area. Reflow testing often uses about 320 CSS pixels of width.
