<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">We just switched to Canvas last week! We did a lot of evaluations over the last 2 years of 5 different LMS's with both the mobile apps and web, finding the Canvas team extremely
responsive, issuing accessibility fixes within 2 weeks of reports. We were floored. (we were looking at Canvas, D2L, Sakai, +2 more which were not considered after their RFP submission)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">D2L, while accessible, wasn't as intuitive as Canvas to our instructors. We're currently using Sakai, so no testing was done on that. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">So, what are the things that I'm going to have to watch out for?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">- Captioned videos (create a library of responses to minimize future costs)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">- Accessible LTI (Piazza, BlueCanary, McGraw Hill Smartbooks, Pearson Smartbooks, etc.) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">- Grading papers: Was very mouse orientated during our demo's, which we requested to have keyboard/touch support as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">- Math accessibility<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">- 3D files <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">- other STEM content <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">What are some bonuses?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">- Easy setting extended times for quizzes and tests!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">- Testing within LMS soon?
<a href="https://www.respondus.com/products/lockdown-browser/" id="LPlnk92179">Respondus</a> looks VERY promising. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">- Need additional services for your LMS?
<a href="https://www.imsglobal.org/cc/alltools.cfm">Look into different types of LTI</a> to implement. Just remember to consider privacy, security, AND accessibility before purchasing. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Mostly, we'll have to be interacting with content creators for the next decade to get these issues worked out. The developers have created an accessible LMS, but it's the
content creators who can make it inaccessible. This is where Universal Design is really going to take off. That UDOIT site Jiatyan pointed out is really going to help, the problem will be getting people to use it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Both the UI are designed for pedagogy (vs file folder hierarchy). Part of your decision should be the maturity of your faculty with online learning - if they are advanced uses, they are probably not going to be satisfied with the features in Canvas).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Canvas. I’ve found this summer’s version of their VPAT online and some other materials, but I’m curious about actual user experience with accessibility. Are any of your schools using Canvas? Have you or your students (or staff/faculty) with disabilities encountered
any accessibility or usability challenges? It sounds like they may be checking out D2L as well, so if anyone has any experience with D2L pros and cons, that would be great, too. I’ve used Blackboard as an instructor, and I’ve used D2L for a short MOOC as a
student, so I have some experience with those interfaces.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
