I think this is quite important as it impacts on the ability to write correct accessible pages.

+1 to the suggestion in the test plan to consider changing the heading level of Lessons headings to H2 from H3. I’m not sure how that interacts with other default headings in Sakai, but it seems like it would help this. It makes sense to add the H4-H6 options in the CKeditor, too.

Since the options for H3 to H6 are missing from the CKEditors in other tools as well, I think this has less to do with Lessons and more to do with either the CKEditor version or our configuration of it in Sakai. The CKEditor 4 demo page (https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/demo/) only has the first three heading levels listed, so either that is the new default or Sakai had added more previously, which are no longer there.

Per email from Justi Echeles, Course Development Manager / Accessibility Specialist with the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) Teaching and Learning Center:

“According to WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), Heading Levels – H1 (Heading 1), H2, etc. - should have a meaningful, logical hierarchy. In any document or web page, H1 is always the heading style of the title. Then, H2 and so on. In Sakai, we use H1 for the course title and then H2 for the subtitle or 2^nd section on the Overview page. We do this because Sakai uses heading style H3 for Section Titles in the Lessons pages. This cannot be changed or edited by faculty or admins. This means that in order to keep a logical structure, we need to begin with H4 and then use H5 in the text of a section. (See screenshot.)

In the latest Sakai update, H4 and H5 heading styles are no longer available in the dropdown menu. Is there a reason that these options were removed? Is it possible to return H4 and H5? I’ve also often wondered if the Section Title could be an H2 heading style, so that we could then logically follow with H3 and H4 in the Lessons pages.”

Was able to verify that OHSU is currently using Sakai version 22.1.

During our interactive test session on 11/10, Shawn Foster and I looked into this issue. The H4, H5 and H6 options are still available in the drop down when accessing the Lessons tool section layout options  in Sakai 21, so this appears to have happened sometime after the release of Sakai 22. Moreover, it appears that this might possibly be related to some recent updates that were made to the CK Editor, as we recently upgraded our CK Editor version from 4.13 to 4.14, and then again from 4.14 to 4.16 so this regression might be due to some changes within the CK Editor tool itself.
