February 2026: Accessibility, AI, and Career Mastery
Welcome to your February update! This month, we aren't just checking boxes; we’re breaking barriers. From the official launch of our Course Accessibility Checker to the future of skills-based learning with Canvas Career, we’re giving you the tools to make education more inclusive, measurable, and efficient.
Here’s a look at what’s changing the game this month:
Launched on February 21, this built-in tool features an intuitive remediation wizard to help you fix accessibility issues across entire courses in minutes.
- Now: Fix native content instantly.
- Coming in April: Support for Discussions and Syllabi, admin tracking, and IgniteAI for automated alt text.
It’s time to move beyond simple content delivery. Canvas Career is our new skills-based LMS designed specifically for adult learners. With AI-driven efficiency and precision skill-tracking, you can now ensure every certification translates into verified industry credibility.
Manual badge issuing is a thing of the past. Parchment Digital Badges now automatically sync with your Canvas grading schemes—including full support for Letter Grades. Whether you grade by points or percentages, your gradebook now does the heavy lifting.
Say hello to a faster way to provide feedback. Starting March 21, Enhanced Rubrics become the default standard, featuring:
- Drag-and-drop rubric creation.
- Draft states for better control.
- Import/Export capabilities to save you hours of admin time.
