This article is for faculty who want to check the accessibility of a course on Canvas.
Article Overview
1. Find UDOIT on Your Course Navigation Menu
1.1. From your course's navigation menu, find and click on UDOIT.
The UDOIT tab can be found in the Course Navigation to the left in Canvas.
If you cannot find the UDOIT tab, you may need to enable it from your course's settings. If you do see it, skip to Section 2.
1.2. Change Your Navigation Settings
From the Course Navigation Menu, click on the Settings tab.
Click on the Navigation tab at the top of the Settings page.
Scroll down until you find UDOIT. It may be far down on the list. Click on the vertical dot menu next to UDOIT. Then click the Enable button.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Save button.
Check your Course Navigation Menu on the left side of the page for a link to Ally Course Accessibility Reports.
2. View an Overview of Your Course's Accessibility Score
When you first click on UDOIT, it will scan your course for accessibility issues. Once it's done click Continue. You can also choose to Skip this page in the future.
The report shows your overall score and the issues organized into high, medium and low impact. It also organizes it by issue type, by impact type, by content type.
3. Fix Accessibility Issues
3.1. Fix Low Scoring Content
Now that you know your course's accessibility score, you can start fixing issues. Click the Arrow button to start with the issues that are the Easiest to Fix or High Impact Issues to begin making content more accessible.
3.2. View an Item's Accessibility Issues
Click on Review to read more about the accessibility issue and how to solve it.
3.3. Fix Issues in UDOIT
You will see the report page for an individual item. In this example, an image is missing a description. UDOIT also prompts you to fix the issue.
UDOIT allows you to add an image description directly or mark image as decorative.
After fixing an issue, UDOIT will display that the issue is fixed.
Some items may have more than one issue.
To check accessibility while you create course content, use Canvas's accessibility checker. This appears below the RCE (Rich Content Editor).
