Accessibility can sound intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be! UDOIT (pronounced “You Do It”) by Cidi Labs makes it easy to check your Canvas course for accessibility issues and fix them fast—no coding, no stress.

  • Quickly fix things like missing alt text, heading structure, and color contrast
  • Create a more inclusive, user-friendly learning environment
If you’ve ever wondered whether your Canvas course works well for everyone—this is your chance to find out and make it even better. No tech jargon, just practical tips you can use right away!
