HTML Embed Generator
Accessible HTML embed blocks. Built with HTML/CSS. WCAG-aware.
Overview
The Banner Maker was adapted and enhanced for UNDA’s Blackboard Ultra environment. Originally developed by the University of Arkansas Global Campus, I rebuilt the tool so it could run seamlessly inside the Blackboard Ultra content collection. The audience was academic staff who wanted a simple way to create visually consistent, accessible banners for their courses.
Process
- Adapted the Arkansas solution and refactored the code in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to function within Ultra’s environment.
- Tested the tool across multiple courses and browsers to ensure compatibility.
- Enhanced usability for staff, simplifying the process of uploading and applying banners.
- Designed and built a feature to upload custom images within alpha windows for banners in specific styles for staff to customise.
Outcome
The Banner Maker allowed staff to easily create consistent, branded course banners without technical support. Adoption was strong, reducing design inconsistencies across units and giving academics a quick win for personalising their courses while still aligning with UNDA’s brand.
