Tips for Those with Visual Impairments

Screen Resolution
You may find that lowering your screen resolution helps you see text and images more easily. As a start, try a resolution of 800 x 600 (in Windows) and see how that works for you. Learn more about how to change your screen resolution.

Browser Zoom
While you are working, you may want to magnify certain areas of the site. Use the zoom-in hotkeys available in most browsers.

Screen Magnifiers
Users who need to magnify a page may find that operating system or third party magnification programs work best. These programs have more options for magnification strength and other display settings including color and contrast.

Specifying Color and Contrast Settings
Some users may find that using a high contrast of a specific color scheme may help them to see content on pages. For example, a user may find it easier to see light text on a dark background, dark text on a light background, or in grayscale.

Closed Captioning

Revel videos include closed captions. To turn on closed captions, click on the "CC" button toward the lower right of the video. If you don’t see the "CC" button, place your mouse toward the bottom of the video frame until the video controls appear.

Please contact Pearson Disability Support if you encounter a video that is not displaying closed captions or if you need additional help with the controls.

Speech Recognition

Speech recognition software, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking may be used with Revel.

Interactive Content

Revel titles may include interactive activities to enrich the content experience. These activities were built to support screen reader and keyboard accessibility. The Revel team is committed to accessibility and is in the process of updating content that is not yet fully aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. Some activities involving drag and drop motion or sliders include alternative accessible content. If you come across an activity where you have an issue using your assistive technology or keyboard, please reach out to us at disability.support@pearson.com and provide the title, author, chapter, and name of the activity. We will investigate the issue further and respond promptly.
