Joshua will be participating in a live panel session on September 11th at 12:00 pm to briefly discuss his talk. Please submit a
question for him to answer.
In this session, we’ll dive into the built-in Canvas Accessibility Checker by walking through the 27 potential content issues I tested, from heading hierarchy and image alt text to color contrast and link labels. You’ll see exactly which issues the checker catches, where it falls short, and learn the pros and cons of relying on an automated tool. We’ll then cover practical strategies, both automated and manual, to ensure your course materials meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. By the end, you’ll know how to leverage Canvas’s checker effectively and apply simple best practices to guarantee truly accessible content for every learner.
