BAD PRACTICE 1: Videos on this page play without captions enabled by default. This violates the Perceivable principle of POUR and directly contradicts the WCAG requirement for closed captioning on video content. This means users who are deaf or hard of hearing are excluded from accessing the audio content, making this a clear failure of web accessibility best practice.

GOOD PRACTICE 3: CBC's search functionality is clearly labelled, keyboard accessible, and positioned consistently at the top of every page. This reflects the Understandable principle of POUR, in the way that the interface operates in predictable ways that users can easily understand and navigate. Consistent placement of functional elements like search bars is a WCAG guideline for helping users with cognitive disabilities orient themselves on a webpage, which was identified in class as part of structuring content logically for accessibility.

GOOD PRACTICE 2: Keyboard navigation CBC's site is largely navigable using only a keyboard; users can tab through menus, links, and interactive elements without needing a mouse. This reflects the Operable principle, which requires that all functionality be available from a keyboard. This is especially important for users with motor disabilities who cannot use a traditional mouse or touchpad.

GOOD PRACTICE 1: CBC uses descriptive alt text on most of its news images, meaning screen readers can convey image content to visually impaired users. This is a direct application of the POUR principle of Perceivability, which necessitates that content be presentable to users in ways they can perceive, regardless of disability. It also aligns with the W3C WCAG guideline of using appropriate text alternatives for non-text content.
