[ARCHIVED] Voting for accessibility updates?

[holly_smythe]

I am new to this group; in fact our college is in the process of moving to Canvas. If I make a suggestion for an update involving accessibility, is this an appropriate place to ask people to look at and vote for my suggestion?

[christopher_phi]

I would say absolutely! I think we need all of the help we can get to encourage more awareness of accessibility issues.

Yep, I also agree,  @holly_smythe ‌ !

Welcome to the Canvas accessibility family Holly!!! I love this community.

Hi Holly! That's a great idea to suggest accessibility updates.

I'm surprised that Canvas and other LMS's do not have built-in accessibility checkers. We haven't been able to install UDOIT yet, so I'm trying out the accessibility plug-in demo on the homepage of TinyMCE | The Most Advanced WYSIWYG HTML Editor  

The Rich Content Editor in Canvas uses TinyMCE, so I wonder why Canvas doesn't also purchase the plug-in and use that as a competitive advantage!

Yes! Any suggestions would be wonderful. You can also use the https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-1330-how-do-i-create-a-new-feature-idea?sr=search&searchId=...‌ to submit "official" ideas.
