Canvas Accessibility Checker
The Canvas Accessibility Checker is a course-level interface that provides instructors with an overview of accessibility issues and guided tools for quick remediation. The tool detects common accessibility errors within the course.
The Canvas Accessibility Checker tutorial is approximately 9 minutes long.
The Canvas Accessibility Checker scans Pages, Assignments, Discussions, Announcements, and Syllabi for common accessibility errors typically occurring in content created with the Rich Text Editor. It does not scan new quizzes, videos, and uploaded Files (.pdfs), or linked external content (Google Docs). It also doesn’t scan for errors with interactivity and complex layouts created outside of the Rich Text Editor.
