UDOIT - Getting Started [UW-Madison]

Best Practices

• UDOIT presents barriers based on a few criteria. Instructors should start with the “Easiest to Fix” barriers in order to get used to the tool and its functionality.
  

• The barriers will be presented in two categories: errors and suggestions. Errors should be the first ones to be addressed.

• • Although the tool does provide a way to fix some barriers directly inside the tool, there are some barriers that may require some direct editing of the HTML of the area in the course. 

• If the tool cannot fix the issue natively, it will give you a link to the page for you to correct.
  

• If you are unsure how to edit HTML, please work with your local support or a knowledgeable colleague. 

• UDOIT is available to all credit and noncredit courses within Canvas. 

General Considerations

• UDOIT also checks course files. These files will require knowledge of how to make the changes in the software or programs that created the files.  

Information to share with Students

• Tell students the best way to report accessibility issues in your course. If they report them to you, you can check for the issue using a UDOIT scan.
