From Prototype to Practice: Innovation in Math and Science Assessment in a Digital World

This session examined best practices for designing accessible digital assessments that work for all learners. The presenters explored the importance of grounding assessment design within established web standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and MathML, to ensure consistency, usability, and broad compatibility. The session also highlighted practical principles for creating accessible test content — such as writing effective image descriptions, providing meaningful textual alternatives, and structuring content in ways that support assistive technologies. Demonstrations illustrated how applying these standards and principles results in assessment items that function seamlessly across a wide range of accessibility tools. Finally, the presenters introduced the inaugural A11y SIG, positioned as a community hub for ongoing collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and advancement in accessible assessment practice.
