Immersive reader in Discussions?

Why can we not have immersive reader or any accessibility options for discussions and other categories? Is this an instructor setting or can I change my personal settings elsewhere?

I apologize if this question has already been asked.

Also, I assume the canvas mobile app for android has zero immersive readying capabilities?

Hi there @Brendanq ,

Thanks for reaching out on the Instructure Community!

While I am unsure about the mobile app, you are correct, immersive reader is not supported in discussions. Unfortunately, there are no settings for you to enable as the Instructor that can grant students access to the immersive reader in other areas of Canvas, as it is not currently designed to work in other areas of Canvas at this time. The only setting that exists for immersive reader is at the account-level, where admins can decide if this feature is turned on or off for an entire institution.

This being said (and it's certainly possible Instructure is working on a way to implement this), I'd recommend submitting this as a feature idea for the product team to look at. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructure-Community-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-new-idea-in-the-Instructure-Community/ta-p/2986

I apologize that this is not the news you wanted to hear, however I still hope this helps.

All the best,
Noah

Hi @Brendanq,

I do not have any specific insight to its lack of availablity but I believe part of the reason is because the immersive reader functionality is officially a Microsoft solution that Instructure has added to the Canvas LMS.

This might mean that it is not possible for Instructure to add the functionality to aspects of the Canvas LMS that have more unlying code besides Canvas pages.
