Access keys

Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key.

All pages on this site define the following access keys:

• Access key 1 (ALT + 1 for Windows) will select the eTeach home page navigation image. Press enter to navigate.
• Access key s (ALT + s for Windows) will skip navigation.

Links

1. Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
2. Links are written to make sense out of context.

Images

All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics are either applied using CSS, or include null ALT attributes.

Font sizes

Visual design

1. This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.

3. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable
