Looking for feedback
- The current use of machine-generated transcripts for lessons often leads to unclear content. Since YouTube provides transcription, we plan to shift to high-quality, human-curated text directly tied to each lesson. This change is a priority based on feedback from the disability community regarding accessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) issues with translated transcripts. If video producers can’t create the text themselves, others may assist. Share suggestions or help test new formats in the Training Team Slack or GitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ discussions.

- Even small contributions make a big difference in improving the learner experience on Learn.WordPress.org.
- Looking for Ideas: Learn Pathways 2.0 – Localized Learning Experience
- We’re exploring how to make Learning Pathways more relevant across regions and languages, and we’d love your ideas!
- As we prepare for the next phase of Learn.WordPress.org, we want to understand:
- How can we adapt learning paths to reflect local WordPress communities and examples?
- What types of content help you learn best in your native language — short videos, written guides, or quizzes?
- How can we ensure translated content feels natural and culturally appropriate?
Please share your thoughts in the Training Team Slack channel or on GitHub. Your insights will help shape the next generation of Learn.WordPress experiences and ensures that learning WordPress feels personal and accessible to everyone — wherever they are in the world.
