Summary
A well-structured course is an accessible course. In this session, you’ll learn how to design Canvas content that is clear, consistent, and usable for all students from the start.
We’ll explore how modules, pages, and layout choices impact navigation and comprehension, then dive into Canvas’s built-in Accessibility Checker to help you create accessible content as you go. You’ll leave with practical strategies for using headings, lists, links, images, and tables effectively—plus a simple “plus one” change you can make right away.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Apply basic structure (modules, pages, headings) to improve accessibility
- Use the Canvas Accessibility Checker to identify and fix issues
- Create more accessible content using the Rich Content Editor
