Join us to turn that struggle into success as we explore how good design can facilitate varied action and expression right inside Canvas.
From improved navigation options to no-stakes interactive assessments to precisely-placed scaffolds, we’ll showcase how DesignPLUS makes it easy to design for learner agency and self-monitoring–no coding required. You’ll walk away from this final webinar of our “Building Universal Design in Canvas” ready to create Canvas experiences that empower students to engage and succeed on their terms.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED
In this guided workshop, you will receive tips and a shared, guided document to help you and your team take the first crucial steps toward creating strategy for dealing with your PDF backlog: inventory and assessment. It's much easier to create a long-term plan for handling the challenges posed by PDFs if you build a deeper awareness of how many you have, how they were created, and the purpose they serve. Inventorying and assessing your existing PDF backlog can also help you make informed choices about appropriate alternatives to PDFs in future workflow decisions. Please note: This is a strategy workshop, so we won't be covering how to remediate PDFs or demonstrating tools.
