Introduction

The Content types report provides a breakdown of the pass rate and error totals per HTML Content type for the course, or courses. 

 

It has two different views, as tabs:

  • “Display pass rate” to display the pass/fail per HTML content type.
  • “Display error totals” to display the total error count per HTML content type.

 

Each report view displays the main data in a bar chart, with a link to view the chart data in a table underneath.

Content type groups explained

In order to summarise and analyse the results of the various checks conducted, we group these checks into different content types. Hence, all image-related accessibility check results are in the “Image” content type group, all layout-related accessibility check results are in the “Layout” content type group, and so on.

 

Activities are counted as either activities, resources or content areas relating to the courses themselves. Each activity with one or more detected errors in a given content type is counted as failed, otherwise counts as passed. The ratio of passed to failed activities is then displayed per content type.

 

The content type chart page displays the following information:

  • The pass rate tab shows ratio of passed to failed activities in total, per content type, such as Image, Link etc
  • The error totals tab shows error breakdown per content type group, such as Image, Link etc
  • Can be filtered to show all courses or one individual course

Where to find the Content types report

The Content types report can be accessed via:

  • From Site administration: Site administration > Plugins > Admin tools > Accessibility+ > Go to reports > Content types.
  • From a course: Course actions menu > Brickfield Accessibility+ Toolkit > Go to reports > Content types.
  • From the course block: Accessibility+ Review block > View Accessibility+ report (Chart icon) > Go to reports > Content types.

How to use the Content types report

The Content types report displays two views for the breakdown of content types. The HTML content types are:

  • Image
  • Layout
  • Link
  • Media
  • Table
  • Text

 

The heading area of the report will show whether the errors listed are for one course or many courses.

  • If the results are for one course, the course name is displayed.
  • If the results are for more than one course, the number of courses is displayed.

 

A concise description of this report is on the right in both views.
