You would include provisions from 1194.21(a-l) only for "software" that
might include Java. Interactive elements would not require 1194.21
provisions as these are addressed by provisions from 1194.22. you also
probably would not need 1194.24 provisions as 1194.22(b) generally
addresses multimedia content.

The important aspect to completing VPAT(s) is to be clear, "yes", "no"
and if "yes", but these exceptions, be clear about where they occur, and
their impact.
You should consider completeing the 1194.31 functional performance
criteria as well as these are always applicable. Including answers to
applicable provisions from 1194.41 is helpful as well.

Here is an example VPAT:
http://www.accessiblewizards.uiuc.edu/vindex.php

What VPAT you develop for a course would depend on the technologies.

If is just static HTML:
1194.22 Web-based intranet and internet information and applications. 16
rules.

If there are interactive components or other software:
1194.21 Software applications and operating systems.

If there is multi-media, some of these may apply:
1194.24 Video and multimedia products.

In any case you would probably want to state which requirements you
course needs to comply with and which they do not.
