Welcome to Accessibility Fundamentals for Canvas. We're glad you've decided to join us as we explore ways to make our materials as accessible as possible to as many people as possible.

This course is designed to provide you with a broad knowledge of how the electronic course materials that we make available to our learners can present barriers to those with a wide variety of disabilities, and specific steps we can take to eliminate or circumvent those barriers.

While we will touch on accommodations built into physical public spaces--sidewalk ramps, Braille elevator buttons, movie theater induction loops--the focus of our course will be on those barriers and accommodations that directly affect learners' access to our course materials, especially those that are under our direct control.

This course has five Modules. Each Module ends with a quiz. You may take the quizzes as many times as you like.

When you've finished all five Modules, click on Course Wrap-Up to take the summative evaluation (final exam) for the course.

The Grades section shows your scores for each of the quizzes and the final exam.
