Canvas websites must be accessible for all students but don’t panic! This hands-on workshop will cover what to look for and several tools to help you find and fix issues. In this training session, you'll learn how to:

  • Use the text editor to create a navigable page structure
  • Write effective alt text for images and charts,
  • Ensure readable color contrast
  • Design accessible tables and links. 
  • Use Canvas accessibility tools, including checkers to find and fix common issues
  • Use tools in Illinois Media Space caption videos. We'll also cover how to use a number of accessibility checkers to find and fix common issues. 

By the end of this session, you'll have the confidence you need to create Canvas course sites that meet State and Federal accessibility standards.
