WAVE Browser Extension learning objective: 

Demonstrate how to install and use the WAVE browser extension to evaluate possible accessibility problems on a website.

In this unit you will learn how to install and use the WAVE browser extension through WebAIM to keep in mind the accessibility of web materials for different online learners. I have included a link for you to use the WAVE tool should you not have Firefox or Chrome, but I do expect you to understand the benefits of having the WAVE extension within your browser bar.
