Create an Accessible Syllabus

Simply uploading a Word document or PDF to Canvas does not make a syllabus accessible. The best method is to actually create the syllabut directly in Canvas rather than in Word or as a PDF. When it's directly in Canvas, it is more usable on mobile devices too.

Create Accessible Articles

Simply uploading an article to Canvas does not make it accessible. That's right, simply uploading a PDF of a scanned article does not make it web accessible, but thanks to the eAccessibility Academy, you will know how to make a scanned article ready for your students to use online.
