Theme Overview

Admins and instructors want to reduce the time they spend making their Canvas content accessible.

What value could this provide to users?

Videos uploaded by students and instructors using the media recorder are auto-captioned
Instructors can add default alt-text to uploaded images that is used everywhere the image appears
Instructors have an improved workflow for editing captions in Canvas Studio
Closed-captioning for videos originally captioned in YouTube can be carried over to Canvas Studio
