Ally and Accessibility in Canvas (Student Guide)

Designed to take accessibility to new heights in your Canvas courses Ally provides access to alternative formats making Canvas even more accessible to your diverse learning needs.

What is accessibility?


The Web is fundamentally designed to work for all people, whatever their hardware, software, language, location, or ability. When the Web meets this goal, it is accessible to people with a diverse range of hearing, movement, sight, and cognitive ability.
