Course Catalog – New Skip to Content buttons – 2.14

Test/Stage: week of February 3rd; Production: week of February 3rd
Impact: All Users

We added a Skip to Content button to all pages in the Course Catalog to make content more accessible. Multiple links appear before featured content on each page, which previously caused keyboard and screen reader users to navigate through repetitive and irrelevant links. Skip to Content provides a way for these users to quickly access the main content and avoid frustration.

Students and Managers

When users navigate the site using the keyboard or a screen reader, Skip to Content displays at the beginning of each page. Users of screen readers or keyboard navigation can select Skip to Content to move past links and quickly access page content.
