Biola uses the UDOIT tool to help faculty identify accessibility issues in their Canvas courses. We want to ensure access to online course content for students with disabilities. UDOIT stands for Universal Design Online content Inspection Tool, pronounced, "You Do It."
In every Canvas course, teachers will see a link to UDOIT in the left hand navigation menu:
Next, you will need to click "Authorize" to allow UDOIT to access your account.
Then choose which sections of your Canvas course you wish to scan (we recommend the default, with is "All"). Click the green button to begin the process:
When the scan finishes, UDOIT will present you with a list of errors and suggestions. The list of accessibility errors checked includes:
In addition, UDOIT checks for the following items and lists them as "suggestions":
For most errors and suggestions, UDOIT provides a button which allows you to fix the problem. For example, if the Alternate Text for an image is just the file name, you will see this error:
Click "View the source of this issue" to see the image (it will appear in-line, in the message). Next, click the green "U FIX IT!" button and you can type in a new Alt Text for that image.
