Abstract

This study develops and audits a low-resource microlearning module for three ethical narratives from Navoiy's Lison ut-Tayr, framed as an HCI problem. A four-stage procedure (corpus delimitation, pedagogical mapping, HTML implementation, and source-level audit of 26 requirements traceable to WCAG 2.2, WAI-ARIA, ISO 9241-210, and privacy-by-design) produced an 11,847-byte Uzbek-language prototype with story units, glossaries, ethical-choice activities, explanatory feedback, progress indication, and text-size and contrast controls; no external dependencies, network calls, or personal-data fields are present. All 26 checks passed; an independent Axe audit confirmed zero additional failures. Default-palette contrast ratios of 17.40:1, 13.39:1, and 5.97:1 exceed the SC 1.4.3 AA threshold of 4.5:1. High-contrast ratios (body text 21.00:1, headings 21.00:1, accent 14.67:1) exceed both AA (4.5:1) and AAA (7:1) thresholds; the focus indicator produced 7.14:1; no hover or selected-state rules appear in the source. Two items (SC 2.5.5, SC 2.3.3) are AAA enhancements, not AA requirements. These results establish source-level readiness for a learner study, not a claim of full WCAG 2.2 conformance or learning effectiveness; both require participants. The contribution is a reproducible, openly deposited HCI pathway connecting classical literature, inclusive interaction design, and sustainable cultural heritage education.
