Exercise step & external tool QA review

Exercise steps and external tools require an additional Quality Assurance (QA) review. 

During this additional QA, please check that all the elements of the embedded tool will be fully accessible to learners no matter what device they use. 

We can support SCORM content and LTI within exercise steps with some limitations. Make sure to test your exercise steps and tools before publishing the course.  

In order to review your exercise step or external tool for QA, please: 

1. Consult our technical and accessibility standards for exercise steps and external tools
2. Familiarise yourself with our wider criteria for external tools and accessibility used during your full Quality Assurance review. 
3. Test it yourself
4. Review this Exercise step and external tool checklist
5. Build the exercise step or external tool within your course in Course Creator.
