Tips & Tricks

Accessibility and inclusivity are important for creating a great online course. It ensures that all your students will be receiving the same education, no matter their comprehensive capabilities by providing them with the tools they will need to be successful in your course. Below are some tools you can use to ensure your content is accessible for all students. 
Canvas Accessibility Checker
The Rich Content Editor includes an accessibility tool that checks common accessibility errors within the editor. You can use the Accessibility Checker to design course content while considering accessibility attributes for pages and assignment instructions.

UDOIT
The Universal Design Online Content Inspection Tool, or UDOIT (pronounced, “You Do It”) enables instructors to identify accessibility issues in Canvas courses. It will scan a course, generate a report, and provide resources on how to address common accessibility issues.

Note: These tools only verify content created within the Rich Content Editor. You may need to use other accessibility tools to verify additional content such as documents and multimedia.
