Accessibility in Canvas
At Mt. SAC, the best way to get fast information about making content in Canvas accessible
is to enroll in the Mt. SAC Faculty Accessibility Center. Any employee at Mt. SAC
with credentials in our Canvas account can enroll in this course, which will give
you ongoing access on your Canvas dashboard. You always have the option to hide the
card or un-enroll if you wish to do so.
About the Faculty Accessibility Center

The Faculty Accessibility Center offers professors and Canvas course designers a one-stop resource for brief information on implementing accessibility in Canvas. This course covers many of the same topics that are found on the Mt. SAC accessibility web page, but with a specific emphasis on instructional content created within the Canvas learning management system.
