ETS Brownbag: Accessibility Magic in Canvas

How Ally Does the Heavy Lifting
Online via Zoom

ETS FEBRUARY 2026 Brown bag Discussion/Demonstration
"Accessibility Magic in Canvas: How Ally Does the Heavy Lifting"

Ally Accessibility Score

When you hear the word "Accessibility," do you immediately think "More Work"? You are not alone. Ally in Canvas is here to change that narrative. It’s Magic!

Your Canvas courses already have the helper Ally. It’s not there to police your content; it is there to do the heavy lifting for you.

This session is designed to demonstrate how to make your materials better for students without spending your entire weekend on a redesign.

In this "Magic" Brownbag, we will tackle:

  • Improving your accessibility scores: How to read and improve Ally accessibility scores
  • The Magic Button: How Ally generates alternative formats
  • Decoding the  Dials: What those Red and Orange icons actually mean—and which ones you can fix in seconds.

This workshop/demonstration is open to COE faculty, staff, and graduate assistants.
