The Make Your Canvas Course Accessible resource, provided by Teaching Innovation, contains several best practices for your Canvas course. However, many suggestions boil down to one thing: using the features built into Canvas’ Rich Content Editor (RCE) to structure course content.
Wherever possible, try to make your Canvas content using RCE. Why? Accessible content on the web has a strong foundation in HTML code. The built-in features of Canvas’ RCE properly structure your content code so that it is accessible to all students.
To learn more about structuring hierarchical headings in Canvas, enroll in Make Your Canvas Course Accessible, our self-paced accessibility course.
