UDOIT (Universal Design Online content Inspection Tool) is a powerful accessibility checker designed to help instructors create more inclusive and accessible online course content. Integrated directly within Canvas, UDOIT scans course materials to identify potential accessibility issues that might create barriers for students with disabilities. It examines various content elements including documents, images, videos, links, and HTML formatting, flagging problems such as missing alternative text for images, uncaptioned videos, or inaccessible PDF files. UDOIT not only identifies these issues but also provides specific instructions and resources for resolving them, making the remediation process straightforward even for instructors with limited technical expertise. By helping faculty create materials that work for all students regardless of disability status, UDOIT supports institutional accessibility compliance while fostering a more equitable learning environment.
