Check and fix before publishing in Canvas

Before publishing content in Canvas, it is important to run a check and fix to ensure that your content is accessible and meets the University’s baseline practices.

Check for accessible content

The Canvas interface meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 to an AA level. Check that your course content also meets accessibility standards through the UDOIT Advantage tool.

 

Creating accessible content

Our accessibility section provides tips for accessible content and how to fix errors reported by UDOIT.

Canvas Baseline Practices

Aligning your course with the Practices provides students with a more consistent and inclusive online learning experience across their programs. They improve consistency, accessibility, and mobile-friendliness of the Canvas experience.

Support

Check out our learning technology support page to find out what options are available for Canvas.
