Scan one Canvas module for Red and Orange Ally gauges
Accessibility Goal of the Week
Last week we were introduced to Where Do I Begin With Accessibility?, a three-step roadmap for beginning the journey to fully accessible content. Our task was to read through the document and get a sense of its contents.
This week, we will start Step 1 of Where Do I Begin With Accessibility? with one Canvas module. We can use a handy Ally Gauge Inventory to guide our work.
-
- Select one module in your course and click through it page by page, scanning for any Ally gauges. Clicking page by page is the best way to make sure you spot all the gauges.
- Look for any red or orange Ally gauges (see screenshot below). These are indicators
of significant barriers for students with disabilities. Click on the gauge to receive
information about the problem.
- Open the Ally Gauge Inventory and fill out the first three columns only, circled in red below (steps 1-3 on the
inventory). Don’t worry about making any fixes now. Our goal this week is just to
note any red or orange gauges.
We’ll use this information to guide our work next week!
