In general training is not required at the University of Washington; our IT and teaching environment is distributed and such decisions are made locally. We provide optional training on accessible online learning through our group, Accessible Technology Services (ATS); we have delivered training to groups that include a special interest group for online developers/instructors; we work directly with leaders in our central unit that delivers a lot of programs offered online. In addition we have outreach/training on specific topics like web accessibility, document accessibility, and captioning videos. We also provide guidance on our website <a href="http://uw.edu/accessibility" class="">uw.edu/accessibility</a> and through several discussion lists.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2. Canvas is our standard LMS. Those who teach courses about how to use Canvas as part of our central IT training unit have limited knowledge about accessibility and point participants to ATS for support.<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
