Accessibility Content from the Product Roadmap Blog

[christopher_phi]

There used to be a way to share content from other spaces here - I can't figure out how to do that anymore, but wanted to share a few posts around accessibility that have come up in the Product Roadmap Blog recently for this group: 

• Accessibility Matters from @jozsefdavid 
  A good overview of accessibility at Instructure that includes information about their testing methods and the recent audit from WebAIM and their efforts to address concerns that came up in that audit. 
• Microsoft Immersive Reader in More of Canvas by @dlyons 
  This was a welcome update about the status of the Immersive Reader tool - with some questions about how it could/should be used in quizzes. 
• Font-size Is More Than The Size Of The Font by @dlyons 
  Discussion of introduction the "Figure/Figure Caption" element and what value there is to being able to use smaller or larger font size. 
• Studio accessibility: Why did we make some changes recently? by @AkosFarago 
  Updates on Studio accessibility updates. 
• Current and future state of New Quizzes integration with third party vendors by @SuSorensen 
  Not directly related to accessibility - but a discussion of New Quizzes and LTI tools which many of us use (UDOIT, Blackboard Ally, Pope Tech) to support accessibility in our courses. 

If you are interested in any of these issues, head over to share your $.02!

Another update from the Product blog this morning: 

• You've Always Had The Power To Be Accessible: Introducing Accessibility Checker Notifications by @dlyons 
  This looks like a helpful change to help raise awareness of the accessibility checker!
