Setting up a light canvas shell
You may be using another platform for your online course (like zoom). Or, maybe you are being paid just for the class, and are not required to have a Canvas shell. In the tutorial below, you will learn how to create a shell for just discussions and announcements, name your site something that your students can understand, and provide a home page which would have a link to your course website (or whatever you would like on that home page).

Tips for ADA Compliant Online Instruction
1. Hyperlinks.
Ensure all Hyperlinks are text within a sentence to foster readability. The samples below are ADA compliant hyperlinks.
To view ADA regulations visit https://www.ada.gov/ Or ADA Regulations
2. Text Design
Use of sans serif fonts like Arial and Helvetica are preferred. Minimizing font variation helps make courses ADA compliant. It is best to have dark colored font on a light colored background.
3.Images/Graphics.
It is best to avoid blinking or animated images. All images and graphics should include a description called an alt tag or text. This is supported through most Learning Management Systems including Canvas.
4. Audio/Video.
All video must be captioned and audio transcripts provided.
5. Documents.
All text documents should be searchable and all charts and graphs should have clear text descriptions illustrating what the image in conveying.
