Hyperlinks are an efficient way to provide users direct access to other online resources, such as documents, websites, or videos. The way hyperlinks are displayed can affect their accessibility.<\/p>\n

What Makes Hyperlinks LESS Accessible?<\/h2>\n

Raw URL text (e.g.,\u202fhttps:\/\/app.jove.com\/science-education\/v\/11467\/chemistry-of-the-cell<\/strong>)\u202fmakes reading with assistive technologies, such as a screen reader, more difficult and tedious.<\/p>\n

URLs embedded in generic text, such as \u201cclick here\u201d or \u201cmore\u201d make finding a specific link difficult for everyone. Assistive technology, such as a screen reader, can search for all hyperlinks on a page.<\/p>\n
