Canvas offers a chance to share information with students asynchronously, and to create a learning environment beyond the physical classroom space. Ensuring accessibility in this online medium is important in order to remove barriers to learning for all students.

This section will look at some of the ways in which we can:

  • Create a more accessible Canvas, using built-in tools to check for accessibility.
  • Create thoughtful elements in the Rich Content Editor.
  • Help you get started on this journey, with tips for success.
Note

Accessibility tools and guidelines are constantly changing, and this resource will, too. We currently only address a handful of areas within Canvas, but we’ll offer additional resources in future updates.
