Description
This workshop gives instructors a clear, practical foundation for building course content that all students can navigate. In this workshop we will focus on structuring pages with meaningful headings, writing concise and descriptive alt text, choosing readable colors and layouts, and using YuJa Panorama to identify and fix common accessibility issues. Participants learn how thoughtful page design reduces cognitive load, improves screen‑reader navigation, and creates a more equitable learning experience across devices. Faculty will leave with straightforward techniques they can apply immediately to make their Canvas courses more intuitive, consistent, and accessible for every learner.
