Accessibility Office Hours Webinar Series: Pope Tech Instructor Accessibility Guide

The Pope Tech Instructor Accessibility Guide for the Canvas LMS platform reviews Canvas pages for potential accessibility errors and prompts content authors with the necessary changes to fix issues.

Powered by the same rules as the WAVE accessibility checker, the Instructor Accessibility Guide helps instructors make changes directly within their Canvas pages to create more accessible content.

The Pope Tech Instructor Guide assists in scaling accessibility support for your institution as this tool identifies the accessibility errors and provides an explanation of what the accessibility error means, why it matters, and how to fix it.

The Instructor Accessibility Guide is made available at no cost to California Community Colleges through the CCC Accessibility Center license.

In this webinar, participants will learn how to:

    • Run the Pope Tech Accessibility Guide on a Canvas page
    • Apply the recommended changes
    • And for Canvas Administrators or Faculty Support Roles - learn how to request Pope Tech Instructor Accessibility Guide for your institution

Please join us live - this webinar will not be recorded. The Accessibility Office Hours offer the opportunity to ask questions and share best practices regarding web, document, and assistive technology accessibility issues. Audience participation is welcome!
