Accessible Content in Canvas

Register for Sept. 26 workshop

Digital accessibility doesn’t have to be hard or overwhelming! In this session, we will provide quick and easy strategies to ensure that course materials you host on Canvas are universally accessible and ADA compliant. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss particular issues and concerns and shape the conversation, but possible topics may include: utilizing the accessibility checker in the Canvas Rich Content Editor, interpreting Ally accessibility reports, proper use of heading styles, best practices when creating hyperlinks, alt text for images, how to make tables accessible, color contrast issues, considerations for Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF documents and captions and audio descriptions for videos.

Note: Faculty participants will receive one point toward their Training and Innovation professional development total for successful completion of this workshop
