Digital Accessibility

Digital accessibility means that all digital content or digital environments are designed to be inclusive and accessible for all learners/users regardless of their abilities. Ensuring that digital content is accessible involves thinking about the learner’s or user’s profile so that the design caters for their needs. Some key considerations include inclusive fonts, providing alternative formats, creating screen reader friendly or keyboard friendly content, etc.

All Canvas modules include a set of accessibility tools and integrations, e.g., Anthology Ally, to help maximise the accessibility of our digital content.
