Has anyone had an issue with screen readers not reading all the quiz answers?
Hi @BrittanyGreer,
I have not heard of any issues like that with quizzes (classic or new) in Canvas. I suppose it's possible that something about a specific quiz answer was not entered by the quiz creator in an accessible way. I would suggest reaching out to your teacher or your school/institution's Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education area) with details about what your screenreader had difficulty with to see if they could make any adjustments to the quiz.
I hope this helps a bit. Good luck with your courses!

no, u probably have zoom in cause my screen sometimes looks blurry to me and i have to zoom in.
Adding to Chris's response, in our institution we have determined that New Quizzes, along with all of our other quiz and polling tools, is not fully accessible to students with visual challenges in a way that would avoid disadvantaging some students or allow us to be fully compliant.
We have two strategies to address this:-
DDS have a team of people who are trained to log on over Teams and support students by reading and entering the quiz for them
In practice many of our 'extra time' students find that they get on better with Canvas New quizzes than other assessment types.
Hi Brittany -
We are also getting reports of screen reader skipping random question choices. Were you able to resolve?
Hi @BrittanyGreer We are having a lot of problems with new quizzes in Canvas. Specifically with the screen reader Kurzweil. Which screen reader have you been having issues with?
Hello, Yes. I'm a student with low vision and they never work for me. I've had some rather serious and unfortunate incidents happen that I've tried unsuccessfully to report.
Do you have any recommendations for a text-to-speech software that works well with Canvas?
Greetings everyone! Hello everyone, I'm new to the group and would like an update on what I've missed so far. Could someone fill me in? Thanks, Orlando
I recently completed the Universal Design for Learning Level 1 Mindset Credential. The entire process was incredibly thought-provoking and has me considering our course templates and how we can weave elements of the UDL 3.0 Guidelines into our course setup and design. Has anyone else updated templates or created guidelines…
Hey all, I posted this a few days ago in a different topic and it is getting some likes, so I thought it might be good to move the information to a separate topic so that it might be easier to find. (To hopefully be clear--since this message was marked as spam almost immediately after it was posted--I'm not posting this…
I'm wondering if anyone has integrated Eye-Able with Canvas to support students with digital accessibility needs, either by using the extension or through installation? Keen to learn about your experiences
