Admin Analytics
Accessibility Analytics
Location to Enable Feature | Enabled for root account admins by default |
Name of LTI Tool | Admin Analytics |
Permissions | Intelligent Insights / Accessibility Analytics |
Affects User Interface | Yes |
Affected Areas | Intelligent Insights - New module available |
Summary
The new Accessibility Analytics dashboard provides administrators with an institutional view of course compliance. By aggregating data from the Canvas Course Accessibility Checker, it scales individual scan results to the account and sub-account levels for broader oversight.
Change Benefit
While the Course Accessibility Checker provides a tactical, course-level overview for remediation, the new Accessibility Analytics dashboard elevates this data into high-level strategic insights for administrators.
The Accessibility Analytics dashboard enables Intelligent Insights users to:
- Monitor Compliance at Scale: Track accessibility compliance across the entire institution at the account or sub-account level.
- Identify and Prioritize: Visualize overall accessibility health through clear metrics, flag high-risk courses, and pinpoint critical problem areas to allocate support resources effectively.
- Filter Comprehensively: Tailor the dashboard to focus strictly on relevant course scopes and specific accessibility issue types.
- Drive Actionable Remediation: Leverage the integrated communication tool to send customizable, contextual Canvas messages directly to instructors to guide their remediation efforts.
Note(s):
- The dashboard leverages the results of the Canvas Course Accessibility Checker; therefore, only scanned courses are reflected in the data. To maintain an up-to-date overview, regular course scans are advised.
- New scan results may take up to 4 hours to appear on the dashboard.
