Are you wondering how to make your Canvas course site more accessible and usable, though not sure where to start? We've got something for you!
What is it?
A 10-Day Course Accessibility Challenge that walks you through, step-by-step, how you can make meaningful progress toward a more inclusive digital environment in a sustainable way.
This is a responsibility shared broadly across our campus community, and a key provision under the updated Title II of Americans with Disabilities Act. At the School of Arts and Sciences, we are committed to fostering an inclusive digital environment for all education content, and we are here to support you in making your courses accessible.
Should I sign up for this challenge?
YES! You do not have to be a digital accessibility or Canvas expert. This challenge will help break down accessible course content into smaller, doable chunks. Worried about falling behind? That’s okay! The material will always be available to you, and you can come back to them when it’s convenient for you.
How will it work?
You will receive an email every day for 10 business days to help you make your Canvas course content accessible for all students. The emails will include opportunities to make changes to your course no matter how much time you have that day. Opportunities will include: “I have 5-minutes” or “I have more time.”
