Course Accessibility Canvas Working Session

Join us to learn a few key ways to make your Fall 2026 Canvas site more digitally accessible and inclusive!

Date and Time: August 19 from 11a.m. to 12 p.m.

Location: Education Room 333 or Online via Zoom

This will also help you make progress towards meeting the ADA Title II compliance standards which must be in place for all courses by April 2027.

This hybrid working session will guide faculty and teaching assistants through theCITL Canvas Accessibility Checklist. You’ll learn techniques to improve digital accessibility and apply them directly to your own Canvas course or a sample site. 

Key takeaways:
  • Ensure headings and page titles are properly structured.
  • Use lists
  • Using tables accessibly
  • Add alt text for images and media.
  • Check color contrast and use readable fonts.
  • Run the Canvas Pope Tech Accessibility Checker and resolve issues.

Bring a laptop and a canvas course to work on during the session.
