Simplifying Canvas Accessibility with Pope Tech
Part of the Accessible and Inclusive Design Workshop Series
This series features practices to create more accessible and inclusive classes for students, particularly students with disabilities and/or who are neurodivergent. It centers needs and recommendations students have identified (see the Practitioner Guide: Accessibility) and was developed in consultation with specialists at the Accessible Education Center (AEC). Series facilitators include staff from TEP, UO Online, AEC, and the Library; workshops occur Wednesdays from 1-2 pm throughout the spring term. This series is open to all instructors at any existing level of knowledge and is meant to be a co-learning experience (we’re learning too!).

Fill out brief pre-survey here
This session provides a general overview of the Pope Tech Instructor Accessibility Guide for Canvas and compares its features to the native Canvas Accessibility Checker. Using an accessibility checker is a simple way to ensure your Canvas site is accessible to as many students as possible. The Pope Tech Guide is an easy to use, interactive tool that provides instructors with accessible, fast, and accurate web accessibility testing for their courses as they create and edit content.
