Canvas

A commitment to equitable teaching must extend to students with disabilities. In this session, we will discuss why you should not wait until you receive an accommodation request to design a learning experience that is inclusive of students with visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive disabilities. You will have an opportunity to practice identifying and addressing potential accessibility barriers in Word documents, PowerPoint slide decks, and Canvas pages. We will also introduce UDOIT Advantage, a tool for scanning your Canvas site, finding and addressing accessibility barriers, and even providing alternate formats for your course materials.

This session provides organizational and design tips on setting up and arranging the Modules in Canvas. Features include nesting and indenting items, using emojies for visual interest, condensing information in Pages, choosing Home Pages, and manipulating the navigation menu. 

This session is intended for intermediate and advanced Canvas users
