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.

For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that can't remember his Canvas password and doesn't get an email to reset it when he clicks to reset it. Can someone help me so I can help him? Nothing is in his spam either. And this has happened last year too but I can't remember what we did.
Our "Outcomes" has not been working for about 6 months. Teachers can't build and attach Outcomes to new quizzes. Canvas said it was a rollover issue. Canvas won't fix it unless we pay them $2000 to "re-train" us for 10 hours. Has anyone had this problem and did it get fixed?
