From Obligation to Opportunity: Evaluating Accessibility with Tools

In the final session of the Accessibility Champions Program, participants will learn how to evaluate the accessibility of their course content using practical tools. Faculty will explore Panorama’s reporting features and accessibility insights within Canvas, as well as accessibility checkers built into Microsoft Office and Adobe platforms. The session emphasizes how these tools can help identify barriers, guide remediation, and support continuous improvement. Participants will also have time to run accessibility checks on their own course materials, apply fixes, and reflect on how the tools fit into their ongoing teaching practices. By the end of the session, faculty will have the confidence and resources to evaluate and maintain accessible, inclusive learning environments as Accessibility Champions.
