The Universal Design Online Content Inspection Tool (UDOIT) was retired September 22, 2023. Ally is available for use in Canvas courses; to learn more, see Ally instructor guide and Ally alternative formats for students.
The Universal Design Online Content Inspection Tool (UDOIT) is an accessibility auditing tool for Canvas. UDOIT was created by the Center for Distributed Learning (CDL) at the University of Central Florida (CDL). This tool will scan your Canvas course, generate a report of accessibility issues that could create barriers to student learning, and provide resources for addressing these issues.
UDOIT will look for errors and provide suggestions in the following areas of your Canvas course:
- Announcements
- Files
- Pages
- Syllabus
- Module URLs
- Assignments
Note that some content isn't able to be scanned. Examples include external documents and some video and audio files for captioning and transcripts.
