This 60-minute session is reserved for ASU faculty, staff, and Teaching Assistants.This workshop will be held online and will be partially recorded.The use of automated bots, AI assistants, or other meeting recording devices are prohibited without the prior approval of event coordinators.-----------<h3>Accessibility Checkers Demystified: Use Tools Wisely to Support Learning</h3>Automated accessibility checkers are great at flagging common issues—but they can’t tell you whether your content truly makes sense for all learners. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how to use Microsoft’s Accessibility Checker, Canvas Ally, and the Canvas Rich Content Editor’s accessibility tools to identify and fix common accessibility issues. You’ll learn how to interpret automated feedback, apply best practices for remediating content at the source, and verify improvements by re-scanning documents. Through a live demonstration and guided practice, you’ll build confidence in using checkers as part of a proactive, human-centered approach to accessibility.Tools Covered During Session:<ul><li>Microsoft Word</li><li>Microsoft PowerPoint</li><li>Canvas LMS</li></ul>-----------Important Details:<ul><li>Participants will attend remotely via Zoom (a link to Zoom room will be emailed the morning of the training).</li><li>An ASU Zoom account will be required to join this session.</li><li>Please register using your ASU email.</li><li>Time is based on Arizona time.</li><li>Registration closes 15 minutes before the event start time.</li></ul>For questions, please email: lx-design@asu.edu.
