Canvas - Integration - UDOIT

The UDOIT Cloud Course Accessibility checker was made available in all Canvas courses in the DLE (excluding Madison) starting October 12, 2020.

UDOIT is designed to assist faculty with improving the accessibility of their Canvas courses. It scans Canvas courses, provides easy-to interpret suggestions to improve the accessibility of the course, and can automatically repair many common accessibility issues.  For an overview of the tool, see the UDOIT Cloud Accessibility Tool page from Cidi Labs.

Data Usage Security

In addition, the UDOIT Cloud Technical Overview states "UDOIT does not require the use of any student information. It does not store any user data aside from the Canvas user ID of the person who initiated the course scan. Additionally, user information and authorization is all managed by Canvas. UDOIT stores a developer key that you provide upon installation and encrypted OAuth credentials for the LTI tools. "
