On 10/29/21, the UDOIT course accessibility tool will be upgraded to version 3.0 on the Instructional and Continuing Education instances of Canvas for the University of Wisconsin System (except for UW Madison). The tool's name in Canvas course navigation will change from "UDOIT Cloud" to "Course accessibility checker (UDOIT)."

This change has already been made on the Training and Development instance of Canvas.

The Course accessibility checker (UDOIT) will be "on" in course navigation by default, so it may appear in the navigation of some courses where it was not present before. The Course accessibility checker (UDOIT) tool is only ever visible to Teachers and Administrators, not students.
