Accessibility Checker in Canvas

The Rich Content Editor in Canvas includes an Accessibility Checker, which can check the current page for issues such as:

  • Appropriate alt text on images
  • Appropriate use of headings
  • Color contrasts
  • Table headers and captions

The Accessibility Checker is launched by clicking an Accessibility Checker icon, located at the bottom of the Rich Content Editor.
