The Accessibility Solution for Canvas
Check syllabi, readings, handouts, PDFs, Word documents, and course files for accessibility before students encounter them in Canvas.
Catch inaccessible course files before publication
Canvas courses can collect documents from many authors and source systems. Inkable gives teams a document accessibility workflow for the files that students actually open.
What Inkable checks
- Syllabus and handout structure
- Image descriptions and decorative image choices
- Tables, links, lists, and reading order
- PDF accessibility issues in uploaded course files
Evidence for reviewers
- Course file accessibility summaries
- Remediation guidance for instructors and reviewers
- Status records for accessibility teams
- Standards-aligned evidence for compliance review
Where it fits
A workflow for real document handoffs
Canvas courses often combine files created in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, scanned PDFs, publisher materials, and legacy uploads.
Instructional design teams need to review the files inside course workflows before students depend on them for assignments or readings.
Accessibility teams need document-level evidence they can share with departments, faculty, and compliance reviewers.
Common issues
The barriers reviewers need to find
Syllabi and readings with headings that are visually styled but not structurally marked for assistive technology.
PDF handouts that are untagged, image-only, poorly ordered, or missing alt text for meaningful visuals.
Course links, tables, and slide decks that create barriers for students using screen readers or keyboard navigation.
