Accessibility

Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) content poses unique challenges for digital accessibility, but students in these disciplines need that support to learn and succeed. In this session, we will cover accessibility for complex images, data visualization, and equations. We will also look at tools that can help you address barriers in your existing content and create accessible content going forward. 

Working towards a digitally accessible Canvas course can be an overwhelming task, but there are tools to help! This session will introduce two Canvas-integrated tools, TidyUP and Ally, to assist you in your efforts to make your materials in Canvas accessible. TidyUP identifies and can help you remove outdated or unused content, while Ally identifies and remediates accessibility issues in your Canvas content.  As part of this session, you will have an opportunity to use these two tools in one of your courses with the assistance of an expert from the UM Academic Technology team.
