Accessibility basics for course content

Having accessible content from the start makes content ready for most students. This session will cover recommended universal design practices for MS Office documents, Canvas content, multimedia, and PDFs.

Using Hypothes.is with Canvas

澳门赌场 social annotation tool Hypothes.is is now integrated into Canvas. Hypothes.is allows students to take notes in the margins of digital texts, read and add on to their peers’ notes, and respond to discussion questions right on top of the document being discussed.

澳门赌场 new integration allows faculty to see the student annotations in the Canvas SpeedGrader similar to how discussion posts are seen. This makes grading the work easier for faculty while maintaining the rich features found in Hypothes.is.
