Accessibility by Design UDOIT for Canvas

Click on the UDOIT Cloud 3.0 link in your course navigation. This automatically starts a course scan.

The summary page lists the issues found. You can filter these under Ways to Get Started. The default filter is “Easiest to fix.”

Click on the UFIXIT tab to resolve the issues. When you select Review next to an item, a pop-up window will open explaining the problem. Many issues can be fixed directly from within this window.

• On the UFIXIT tab, click on Review to fix a non-descriptive link

• In the pop-up window, write your descriptive link text in the New Link Text box and save.

In this example, the text has insufficient contrast with the background.

• On the UFIXIT tab, click on Review next to the error.

In the contrast error window, you have the option to increase the contrast of the existing color or use a color picker to choose a new color.

To increase the contrast of the existing color, click on the up or down arrow next to the background color or text color. Watch the Contrast Ratio output to see when the contrast becomes sufficient. Save the new colors.

In this example, the alternative text of an image is the filename instead of descriptive alternative text.

• On the UFIXIT tab, click on Review next to the error.

The preview shows you which image has the problem.

• Type your descriptive alternative text in the New Alt Text box and save.

• UDOIT can detect whether videos linked from YouTube have edited captions or if they only have auto-captions, which should be checked for accuracy.
• UDOIT is unable to scan inside of uploaded documents (e.g. Word, PDF, PPT), but you can use the Review Files tab to see all of your uploaded files in one place and review them for accessibility. It is your responsibility to make sure any uploaded files are accessible.
