We are transitioning to Canvas and my CIO wants to explore all accessibility tracking options. We know that Canvas has native functionality. Is anyone using something other than the Canvas Accessibiility Checking functionality?
When I was a Canvas administrator in higher education, we used the UDOIT accessibility checker from the University of Central Florida (UCF). UDOIT scans your entire course all at once and gives you a report of all accessibility issues that need to be addressed. And, it allows you to make those corrections right within the UDOIT interface…rarely ever needing to make the edits on the page(s) that have issues. In our case, we worked with our on-campus IT staff to install UDOIT in our own local servers. However, there is also a cloud-based version available from Cidi Labs. I’ll provide you with some links to each so that you can determine what might be best for you.
Hopefully, these links will be of some help to you. Sing out if you have any other questions about this…thanks!
We're using Ally (nee Blackboard) to provide direct accessibility indicators in the environment. We're also dipping our toe in the water for the Instructure offering to be run simultaneously.

Hello, we are new to Canvas this school year and have encountered a roadblock. I’m curious whether any other K–12 schools here are experiencing the same issue or have found a solution. We have several high school teachers who use total points with weight and adjust their weights midyear. Our courses are set up as a single…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
