# The Zoom recording will automatically be moved into your Panopto account and appear at the "Panopto Video" page of your Canvas site.
## You can also view recordings directly from Panopto.

=== If Zoom and Panopto are not showing in Course Navigation Menu ===

If you are not seeing Zoom and Panopto Video as default options in your Canvas course navigation you will need to add them:
# Click “Settings” at bottom of the Course Navigation Menu.
# Select the “Navigation” tab (located about top middle of the page).
#* At the “Navigation” page, there is a top section and a bottom section.
#* Generally, areas of Canvas you want to share with students or tools you need to activate go in the top section.
# Scroll down the list of navigation tabs to locate “Panopto Video”.
# At the Panopto Video tab, click on the 3 dots at the right end and select "Enable".
# Once enabled, you can drag and drop to change the order of the navigation menu items - we recommend placing next to the Zoom link.

[[File:Accessibility-human.svg|50px|left]] '''A guide to the updated ADA Title 2 rules for digital accessibility including resources and support available for meeting compliance. See also our college web page [https://www.evergreen.edu/offices-services/information-technology/accessibility on Accessible IT] and [https://canvas.evergreen.edu/courses/5890 self-enroll to the Accessibility Micro-Courses].'''
</div>

== New ADA Title 2 Regulations on Digital Technologies: What it Means ==

* ADA Title 2 updates require state and local government entities to ensure all web content, mobile apps, and digital documents conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. [https://www.ada.gov/resources/small-entity-compliance-guide/ Compliance guide for small entities.]

*Covered content includes websites, apps, social media, videos (with captions/transcripts), and documents (PDFs, Word, slides), requiring compliance by April 24, 2026.

* '''UPDATE (as April 20, 2026): the Federal deadline has been extended by one year to April 26, 2027.'''

* '''Important Note''' - At state-level, '''the requirement for digital accessibility compliance is not new for Evergreen.''' WA State public institutions and agencies have been required to meet compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards since 2017, when Policy 188 (now known as the [https://watech.wa.gov/policies/digital-accessibility-standard Digital Accessibility Policy)] was established.

* Considering both federal- and state-levels - '''Because Evergreen is a public state institution, we are implementing WCAG 2.2 Level AA,''' the standards which WA State will be requiring starting July 1, 2026. See [https://watech.wa.gov/policies/digital-accessibility-policy Digital Accessibility Policy | WaTech] for details.

=== Required Content and Accessibility Standards: ===
* '''Websites and Apps''': Public-facing websites, mobile apps, and third-party tools provided must be fully accessible.

* '''Archived Content Exception''': Documents created before April 24, 2026, that are used only for reference or record-keeping and are not updated, may be exempt unless specifically requested by a user with a disability.

== What steps do we take? ==
While our college is required to meet compliance at both the federal and state levels, we follow [https://watech.wa.gov/policies/digital-accessibility-standard Washington State’s policy] as it exceeds federal standards.

For digital content made
* '''Prior to July 1, 2026''' (WA State level) - Address, remediate, remove, or archive non-accessible content that is available to public or internal access.
* '''After July 1, 2026''' (WA State level) - Any content created needs to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility standards before making it available to the public or for internal access.
* '''After April 26, 2027''' (Federal level) - Any content created needs to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards before making it available to the public or for internal access.

=== Where to start? What to prioritize? ===
* Prioritize addressing public/external-facing, critical and/or student-facing content, such as web pages, online forms, digital newsletters, etc. Content at the college website, www.evergreen.edu, is monitored by the Web Team.
**Perform Accessibility reviews using built-in accessibility checking tools and manual testing as needed.
**Remediate, remove, or archive as appropriate.

* Then work on/apply same process to internal content

* '''Interactive Components''': All online forms, widgets, and navigation elements must be operable with assistive technologies.
* '''Archived Content Exception''': Documents created before April 24, 2026, that are used only for reference or record-keeping and are not updated, may be exempt unless specifically requested by a user with a disability.

== What steps do we take? ==
We need to meet compliance at both the federal and state levels and are prioritizing WA State's required standards because they are the higher of the two.

For digital content made
* '''Prior to July 1, 2026''' (WA State level) - Address, remediate, remove, or archive non-accessible content that is available to public or internal access.
* '''After July 1, 2026''' (WA State level) - Any content created needs to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility standards before making it available to the public or for internal access.
* '''After April 26, 2027''' (Federal level) - Any content created needs to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards before making it available to the public or for internal access.

=== Where to start? What to prioritize? ===
* Prioritize addressing public/external-facing, critical and/or student-facing content, such as web pages, online forms, digital newsletters, etc. Content at the college website, www.evergreen.edu, is monitored by the Web Team.
**Perform Accessibility reviews using built-in accessibility checking tools and manual testing as needed.
**Remediate, remove, or archive as appropriate.

* Then work on/apply same process to internal content

==== Tip: Create an “Accessibility” channel in your Team ====
Use your work area's Microsoft Team for communicating and tracking changes and progress.

=== Digital Accessibility Practices and Standards Guides ===
* [[Accessibility Checklist]] - covers the basic essentials: headers, lists, color contrast, descriptive text links, alt text, captions

Locate Past Canvas Sites

2026-04-16T16:50:49Z

{{Canvas|lead=
'''Students and Faculty: Past curricular Canvas sites are available at your Canvas "All Courses" page.'''<br />
|content=

== '''Canvas sites you are a member of are available at your Canvas "All Courses" list*''', at least as read-access**, as long as: ==
#You have the same active Evergreen account you did when you became a member of the site.
#And the site owner/faculty hasn't closed the site. (See also section at this page, "Why is my Canvas site no longer showing at My Evergreen or my Canvas Dashboard?")

=== *The "All Courses" list may be accessed via your Canvas Dashboard, [https://canvas.evergreen.edu canvas.evergreen.edu]. ===
*The Canvas Dashboard can be accessed via the "Canvas Home" link at My Evergreen
*or by going directly to [https://canvas.evergreen.edu canvas.evergreen.edu]
*Step-by-step directions for accessing your "All Courses" list is available below in the "'''Where can I find my past Canvas site?'''" section.
* **'''Read-access means''' you should be able to view and download most content at the site but will not be able to interact with (e.g. edit, change, add to, post at, submit to) discussions, assignments, quizzes.

==='''Why is my Canvas site no longer showing at My Evergreen or my Canvas Dashboard?'''===

* After an offering (program/course) has completed, the Canvas site associated with the offering is concluded (per an automated schedule) around Week 9 of the following quarter.
** For example, Fall sites conclude towards the end of Winter quarter, Winter quarter sites conclude towards the end of Spring quarter, etc.

* When a Canvas site is concluded, its link is removed from My Evergreen.

* If site access is closed by the site owner/faculty/instructor, the Canvas course will also be removed from your Canvas Dashboard and All Courses list.

==='''Where can I find my past Canvas site?'''===

Your past Canvas courses/sites are stored at your Canvas "All Courses" page, under the "Past Enrollments" section towards bottom of the page.

Canvas can be accessed from [https://my.evergreen.edu My Evergreen] and the "Canvas Home" link, or directly at [https://canvas.evergreen.edu canvas.evergreen.edu].

In the Canvas global navigation menu at far left (has "Account" at top)
# click on "Courses" or the book icon
# in the slide-out window, click on the "All Courses" link at top
# at your "All Courses" page, scroll down to the "Past Enrollments" section

See also Canvas guide, [https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-view-all-my-Canvas-courses/ta-p/618766 How do I view all my Canvas courses?]

==== Notes ====
* If you are not seeing the site at all, it was likely closed by faculty or the site owner.
* When a course has been concluded, it cannot be favorited to display at your Canvas Dashboard.

==='''Faculty: How to request opening a concluded site'''===

If you are not able to access content or student data at a past Canvas site, please submit a support request at https://help.evergreen.edu and include the following information:

* site info: title, term and year, URL/link
* that you need the site un-concluded (re-opened for interactive access) and brief description of purpose (examples: to complete evals, access student assignment submission data, etc)
* if you need access to student data, then student enrollments at the site will need to be manually restored - please indicate whether you need enrollment restored for
** all students
** or specific students (please provide names and Evergreen emails or "A" numbers)

Our Canvas auto-conclude process
# initially concludes sites one quarter after the previous quarter's offerings have concluded (example: Fall sites are closed towards end of Winter quarter)
# and then runs every week on Tuesday mornings

Questions? Please contact Academic Technologies by submitting a support request at [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu].

UDOIT Accessibility Checker

2026-04-03T17:21:23Z

Irishb:

{{CanvasTemplate|lead=
Check for and fix accessibility issues with UDOIT!
|content=

===What is UDOIT?===

The [https://online.ucf.edu/teach-online/resources/udoit/ Universal Design Online content Inspection Tool, or UDOIT] (pronounced, “You Do It”) is a third-party application that is available for use from your Canvas site's Course Navigation menu. (The UDOIT navigation tab is not visible to students.)

*UDOIT enables faculty to identify accessibility issues in their Canvas course content.
*It will scan a course, generate a report, and provide resources on how to address common accessibility issues.

UDOIT was created by the Center for Distributed Learning (CDL) at the University of Central Florida (CDL).

====What does it do?====
UDOIT will identify “errors” and provide “suggestions” in the following areas of your course:

*Announcements
*Assignments
*Discussions
*Files (i.e., .html files)
*Pages
*Syllabus
*Module URLs

====It will check for the appropriate use of the following:====
*Use of headings in page structure
*Alternative text for images
*Table headers
*Color contrast
*Descriptive link text
*Video captions

=====Please note: some items cannot be examined by UDOIT.=====
These include external documents and some videos/audio files for captioning/transcripts.

===How to use UDOIT===

[[File:Screenshot_UDOIT-authorization-prompt-in-Canvas.png|thumb|200px|right|Screenshot 1|alt=authorization prompt to okay UDOIT|authorization prompt to okay UDOIT]]
====To scan your site and check for accessibility issues:====

*Click on “UDOIT” in the Course Navigation menu of your Canvas site.
*A pop-up window should appear, asking you to authorize app access to your (Canvas) account. (See: Screenshot 1)
*Click the blue “Authorize” button.
*After you have authorized, the “Welcome to UDOIT!” page should appear.
*Under the “Scan Course” tab, click on the “Run scanner” bar at bottom.
*Stay on the page while scanning.
*When scanning is complete, review the report to make revisions as needed.
*TIP: If your course contains a lot of content, try scanning items separately rather than all at once.

====For more information and a 3-minute instructional video:====
Please see this guide, [https://online.ucf.edu/teach-online/resources/udoit/ UDOIT: Universal Design Online content Inspection Tool].

===If you encounter an authorization error:===

If you are unable to authorize the app, or encounter a different issue with UDOIT, please try a different browser and let us know what works for you via Canvas Help or [https://help.evergreen.edu/ help.evergreen.edu].

The authorization error appears as red text on a reddish bar which says "Authentication problem: Access Denied" and looks like this:
[[File:Screenshot UDOIT-authorization-error-message-in-Canvas.png|alt=red bar containing text|red bar containing text]]

We are working toward resolving the authorization/browser bug and really appreciate your time and help with troubleshooting this issue.

[[File:Accessibility-human.svg|50px|left]] '''A guide to the updated ADA Title 2 rules for digital accessibility including resources and support available for meeting compliance. See also our college web page [https://www.evergreen.edu/offices-services/information-technology/accessibility on Accessible IT] and [https://canvas.evergreen.edu/courses/5890 self-enroll to the Accessibility Micro-Courses].'''
</div>

== New ADA Title 2 Regulations on Digital Technologies: What it Means ==

* ADA Title 2 updates require state and local government entities to ensure all web content, mobile apps, and digital documents conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. [https://www.ada.gov/resources/small-entity-compliance-guide/ Compliance guide for small entities.]
*Covered content includes websites, apps, social media, videos (with captions/transcripts), and documents (PDFs, Word, slides), requiring compliance by April 24, 2026.
* At state-level, '''the requirement for digital accessibility compliance is not new for Evergreen.''' WA State public institutions and agencies have been required to meet compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards since 2017, when Policy 188 (now known as the Digital Accessibility Policy) was established.
* Considering both federal- and state-levels - '''Because Evergreen is a public state institution, we are implementing WCAG 2.2 Level AA,''' the standards which WA State will be requiring starting July 1, 2026. See [https://watech.wa.gov/policies/digital-accessibility-policy Digital Accessibility Policy | WaTech] for details.

=== Required Content and Accessibility Standards: ===
* '''Websites and Apps''': Public-facing websites, mobile apps, and third-party tools provided must be fully accessible.
* '''Digital Documents''': All documents, including PDFs, word-processing files, presentations, and spreadsheets, must be accessible and correctly tagged for screen readers.
* '''Multimedia Content''': Videos must include accurate, synchronized captions, and audio content requires transcripts to support individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.
* '''Non-Text Content''': Images, charts, and graphs require alternative text (alt text) to provide equivalent information to users with visual disabilities.
* '''Interactive Components''': All online forms, widgets, and navigation elements must be operable with assistive technologies.
* '''Archived Content Exception''': Documents created before April 24, 2026, that are used only for reference or record-keeping and are not updated, may be exempt unless specifically requested by a user with a disability.

== What steps do we take? ==

For digital content made
* '''Prior to April 24, 2026''' - Address, remediate, remove, or archive non-accessible content that is available to public or internal access.
* '''After April 24, 2026''' (Federal level) - Any content created needs to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards before making it available to the public or for internal access.
* '''After July 1, 2026''' (WA State level) - Any content created needs to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility standards before making it available to the public or for internal access.

=== Where to start? What to prioritize? ===
* Prioritize addressing public/external-facing, critical and/or student-facing content, such as web pages, online forms, digital newsletters, etc. Content at the college website, www.evergreen.edu, is monitored by the Web Team.
**Perform Accessibility reviews using built-in accessibility checking tools and manual testing as needed.
**Remediate, remove, or archive as appropriate.

* Then work on/apply same process to internal content

==== Tip: Create an “Accessibility” channel in your Team ====
Use your work area's Microsoft Team for communicating and tracking changes and progress.

=== Digital Accessibility Practices and Standards Guides ===
* [[Accessibility Checklist]] - covers the basic essentials: headers, lists, color contrast, descriptive text links, alt text, captions

Canvas and FERPA

2026-03-26T00:44:58Z

Irishb:

{{Canvas|lead=
'''For Faculty and Staff''' - The following FERPA guidelines regarding protections around student data and the appropriate use of Canvas are administered through collaborative monitoring by Registration and Records, the Deans Area, and Academic Technologies/OIT.
|content=

__TOC__

=== Site Visibility and Who Has Access ===
* Evergreen's Canvas sites are private by default, they are NOT visible to the public.
* A program or course Canvas site is visible/available to
** the faculty and students who are officially associated with the program/course as determined by the Curriculum Area and Registration
** anyone in the position of Dean for purposes of site review
** Academic Technologies (IT) staff who have Canvas admin access to provide technical and instructional support
** people who have been added manually either by faculty request, request from PaCE, or for Access Services/Accessibility purposes

=== Appropriate Use of Canvas Sites by Multi-Term Programs ===

Canvas sites are provisioned per term.
* A single-term program/course is provisioned a single site.
* A multi-term program is provisioned a separate Canvas site for each term of the program. (We are not able to provide single Canvas sites that span multiple terms.)

'''Students in multiple term programs can be allowed to see other students in the program for the term in which they are officially registered but not for terms during which they have not been or are not registered.''' Allowing someone access to class information (rosters, student papers, etc.) in Canvas for a time period in which they are not registered can violate students' rights to privacy by sharing protected information.

For example:
* A program that runs Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters will be provisioned three Canvas sites, one for each term.
* Enrollment, as determined via registration, may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter, with each quarter's enrollment being specific to each term's Canvas site.

This means
* the Fall site needs to be used for Fall-only
* the Winter site needs to used for Winter-only
* the Spring site needs to used for Spring-only

In other words - a Fall site should not be extended to use for the Winter term in lieu of using the actual Winter site provided, etc.

If you use a Canvas site for a term it is not intended for, the following issues occur:
* enrollment will not be accurate
* thus causing FERPA conflicts and non-compliance
* confusion for students
* if content is changed/deleted at a site being used for a different term, this impacts students who were rightfully registered for the original term of the site

For any questions, please contact [https://www.evergreen.edu/offices-services/registration-and-records Registration and Records] or [https://help.evergreen.edu Academic Technologies].

=== Appropriate Use of Canvas by Any Program or Course ===

==== Manually Adding Users to a Curricular Canvas Site ====

To avoid possible FERPA mishaps, faculty (themselves) do '''not''' have the ability to add users at their curricular Canvas sites. (It may appear to work, but it doesn't. Please see below for details.)

Requests to have someone added to your site in any of the following Canvas roles may be submitted via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu] with pertinent details (e.g. which site are they to be added to; person's name, Evergreen email; which role)
* Observer (needs read-access - ability to view most content at site, view Announcements, download files)
* TA (almost same permissions as the Teacher role - program assistant, SIT, workshop facilitator)
* Teacher (needs full edit access - e.g. faculty, instructor)

The Canvas "Student" role is reserved for people who are officially registered for an offering.
* Canvas "lets" you add people in the "Student" role, but if that person is not registered or associated with the offering via Banner, the add won't stick, they will get bumped out.
* Because the Canvas "Student" role is tied with Banner, even IT staff are not able to add people in the "Student" role to a Canvas site connected with the auto-enrollment system.

==== How to Request Adding Program Assistants/TAs or Faculty to Your Canvas Site ====
* [http://helpwiki.evergreen.edu/wiki/index.php/Program_Assistants_and_TAs_in_Canvas To have a Program Assistant/TA added], or another faculty member, please submit a request to Academic Technologies via [https://help.evergreen.edu/ help.evergreen.edu].
* Please note - if you are requesting a student assistant be provided the Canvas "TA" role at your Canvas site, that student cannot be registered for the offering.

==== How to Request Adding a not-yet-registered Student to Your Canvas Site ====
If you have a student who is committed to registering for your program/course but they are experiencing an issue/delay with registration, please submit an [http://helpwiki.evergreen.edu/wiki/index.php/LMS_Access_Exception_Process_for_Faculty LMS Access Exception Request] via [https://help.evergreen.edu/ help.evergreen.edu].

==== How to Request Canvas Access for an ILC or Internship Student ====
Due to FERPA, ILC or internship students cannot be added to Canvas sites they are not registered for.
* If there is content on a Canvas site that may aid in the student's success, there are two options for providing access:
# Faculty can provide the student materials via Microsoft 365, email, or in-person.
# Submit a request at [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu] to have a copy made of the Canvas site you would like the student to have access to, and you and the student will be added to this site.

Enrollment Information for Canvas

2026-03-26T00:43:19Z

Irishb:

{{Canvas|lead=
Help for Faculty and Staff<br />
|content=
Canvas allows us to create a dynamic class list. When students enroll in your offering via Registration they are added to your offering that same day. '''However, they may not have access to the offering's Canvas site up to 24 hours following registration.'''

====When will students be added to my course and when will they have access?====
* Students are enrolled to curricular Canvas sites after they register* - however, students will not have view/interactive access to the site until [http://guides.instructure.com/m/4152/l/57126-how-do-i-publish-my-course the site is published by faculty].
* *When students register for your offering, they are enrolled to your offering that same day, though it may take up to 24 hours for student enrollment to connect to the offering's Canvas site.
*'''Due to FERPA,''' students admitted to an ongoing (multi-term) offering will not be added to Canvas sites for terms they are not registered for. For example, Winter Quarter students joining an offering which started in Fall will not have access to the offering's Fall Canvas site.

====What if I see student names I do not recognize?====
*The list of students at a Canvas site's "People" page is live/active data - for a student to appear in your course, and in the Canvas role of "Student," they must have registered for it.
*Students who drop your course will have their enrollment concluded automatically and will be tagged as "inactive" at the site's "People" page. Inactive students may continue to display at the "People" page up through Week 3. If you have questions about this, please submit a support request to Academic Technologies staff via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu].
*Students indicated as "inactive" no longer have access to the Canvas site and will not be able to receive communications through Canvas.

====Waitlisted Students====
* Waitlisted students do not have access to your course until they are officially registered.
* To request that a student be provided temporary site access as an Observer while their registration is being worked out, please see guide, [[LMS Access Exception Process for Faculty]], and submit a support request to Academic Technologies staff via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu] with pertinent details.

==== Manually Adding Users to a Curricular Canvas Site ====

To avoid possible FERPA mishaps, faculty do '''not''' have the ability to add users at their curricular Canvas sites.

Requests to have someone added to your site in any of the following Canvas roles may be submitted via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu] with pertinent details (e.g. which site are they to be added to; person's name, Evergreen email; which role)
* Observer (needs read-access - ability to view most content at site, view Announcements, download files)
* TA (almost same permissions as the Teacher role - program assistant, SIT, workshop facilitator)
* Teacher (needs full edit access - e.g. faculty, instructor)

The Canvas "Student" role is reserved for people who are officially registered for an offering.
* Canvas will seem to allow you to add people, but if that person is not associated with the offering via Banner, the add won't stick, they will get bumped out.
* Because the Canvas "Student" role is tied with Banner, even IT staff are not able to add people in the "Student" role to a Canvas site connected with the auto-enrollment system.

=====How to Request Adding Program Assistants/TAs or Faculty to Your Canvas Site:=====
[http://helpwiki.evergreen.edu/wiki/index.php/Program_Assistants_and_TAs_in_Canvas To have a Program Assistant/TA added], or another faculty member, please submit a request to Academic Technologies via [https://help.evergreen.edu/ help.evergreen.edu].

=====How to Request Adding a non-/not-yet-registered Student to Your Canvas Site:=====
If you have a student who is committed to registering for your program/course but they are experiencing an issue/delay with registration, please submit an [http://helpwiki.evergreen.edu/wiki/index.php/LMS_Access_Exception_Process_for_Faculty LMS Access Exception Request] via [https://help.evergreen.edu/ help.evergreen.edu].

Accessible WordPress Pages

<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="lead">
A Guide for Creating Accessible WordPress Pages
</div>

==Accessible WordPress Pages==
===Page Template===
Use one of the most current WordPress site templates. (Templates are provided by Academic Technologies and applied automatically upon request.)

===Headings===
'''Properly format headings, and Use headings in the correct (hierarchical) order'''
When in edit mode for a Page or Post:
# At the editor (in Visual mode), click on the Toolbar Toggle icon at far right of the row of tools.
#Highlight the text you want to apply a header to.
#Click on the Paragraph drop-down to select and apply a header
A WordPress page/post title uses Heading 1. There should be only one h1 per page but there can be
multiple h2, h3, h4, h5, h6. DO NOT skip main heading levels and apply consistently throughout page.
'''Examples:''' Heading 2 is great for headlines, Heading 3 is good for separating sections of content, and Heading 4 can be used for sub-sections or general sections of content.
'''You can also apply styling using CSS in Text mode.'''

===Images:===
'''Add alternative (Alt) text to images.'''
#In the Page or Post, click on the image once to highlight it.
#From the pop-up mini-menu, click on the Edit (pencil icon) button
#At the Image Details page, enter a description of the image in the Alternative Text field
#Click the blue Update button in the lower right corner to save.

===Lists:===
'''Format a list as a list using ordered or unordered lists.'''
#In the Editing field, highlight the content you want to format as a list
If the order doesn’t matter, click on the Bulleted list button and desired bulleting shape from the drop-down menu. For an ordered list, click on the Numbered list button and desired formatting option from the
drop-down menu.
'''You can also insert a list using CSS in Text mode.'''
===Links===
'''Write meaningful link text that indicates the link’s destination.'''
To insert a link to a page or post:
# Highlight text you want to link to.
# Select the “Insert/edit link” icon (resembles a chain link) from the toolbar
# Paste the URL of the site you want to link to into the entry field and click the arrow to apply link

===Tables===
'''Use the TablePress plugin available in WordPress at sites.evergreen.edu and blogs.evergreen.edu.'''
#Use the TablePress plugin to create and manage tables on your WordPress site.
# No HTML knowledge is needed, table data can be easily edited. Tables can contain any type of data, even formulas that will be evaluated.
#Tables can be inserted into posts, pages, or text widgets.
#After installing the plugin, you can add, import, export, edit, copy, and delete tables via the “TablePress” section in your admin menu. Everything should be self-explaining there.
#To show one of your tables in a post, on a page, or in a text widget just include the Shortcode [tableid=<the-ID> /] into your post/page/text widget, where <the-ID> is the ID of your table (can be found on the left side of the “All Tables” screen in TablePress).
#You can also click on the “Table” button in the toolbar of the post/page editor to see a list of your tables. If you click “Insert” then, the correct Shortcode will be inserted for you automatically.
# See also the [https://tablepress.org/info/#usage TablePress Usage page] for more information.
#Tables can be imported from Excel (.xls and xlsv) CSV and HTML files and also be exported

===Color===
'''Color choices are handled by your site’s theme and may not be easily editable. If you are using a recommended site template you are already using a theme that adheres to best practices for use of color'''

===Math & Science===
'''Write math and science equations using LaTeX.'''
# Use the WP LaTeX plugin in WordPress.
For more information, go to the Math & Science page of the handbook.

===Multimedia:===
#Eliminate or blinking/flashing content to 3 seconds
#Make sure all mouse actions can also be completed with a keyboard alone (without a mouse.)
#Use an accessible media player like YouTube or Vimeo.
Accessible media embeds are built-in with WordPress. Simply paste the URL to your media object hosted at YouTube, Vimeo, etc., on its own line in your page or post.

'''Digital Accessibility means providing necessary access for persons with disabilities and improving access for as many people as possible. We have a variety of tools available in Canvas to help us double-check our content prior to sharing it with others.'''
</div>

== Accessibility Checking and Testing ==
* All employees at the college - faculty, staff, student-staff - are responsible for creating accessible content.
* The key to effective digital accessibility is implementing accessible practices proactively, making sure all content is accessible before sharing it with others.
* Accessible universal design essentials meet both compliance and design best practices.
* Accessibility checkers built within platforms and applications such as Canvas and Microsoft 365 are very helpful though not always accurate. Having a familiarity with [https://helpwiki.evergreen.edu/wiki/index.php/Accessibility_Checklist the essential practices] will be useful for double checking results provided by automated checkers.

=== Rich Content Editor ===
* As you create pages, discussions, assignments, and quizzes, you can check for issues via the Rich Content Editor's Accessibility Checker. The checker button resembles DaVinci's Vitruvian Man and is located under the content field at lower right.

Utilizing Headings

2026-03-11T21:34:13Z

Irishb:

__NOTOC__
{{TwoColumn|lead=
How and why to use headings in Canvas and WordPress.
|content=
Headings help to add structure and meaning to pages by organizing content into sections and indicating the relative importance of those sections. Assistive technologies and some browsers provide mechanisms to present a list of headings that allows the user to jump to a specific heading (or section of content), as well as establish the importance of the content that is categorized under the heading.

==Canvas utilizes 4 levels of headings==

==Header 2==

===Header 3===

====Header 4====

'''Paragraph'''

The title of the page is automatically styled by Canvas as a '''Header 1.'''

An Accessible page utilizes the levels of headings to establish the reading order of the content.

==How to use headings in Canvas==
When in edit mode, highlight text and select a Heading from the '''Paragraph drop-down menu''' in the '''Rich Content Editor'''.

A Canvas page title uses '''Heading 1'''. There should be only one h1 per page but there can be multiple '''h2, h3, h4. Don't skip main heading levels''' and apply them in a hierarchical order consistently throughout the page.

'''Examples: Heading 2''' is great for headlines, '''Heading 3''' is good for separating sections of content, and '''Heading 4''' can be used for sub-sections or general sections of content.

==Wordpress utilizes 6 levels of headings==

==Heading 2==

===Heading 3===

====Heading 4====

=====Heading 5=====

======Heading 6======

And

'''Paragraph'''

==How to use Headings in Wordpress==
Using headings within '''WordPress''' is similar to using headings in '''Canvas'''
When in edit mode, highlight text and select a Heading from the '''Paragraph drop-down menu'''

The page title uses '''Heading 1'''. There should be only one h1 per page but there can be multiple '''h2, h3, h4. Don't skip main heading levels''' and apply them in a hierarchical order consistently throughout the page.

'''Examples: Heading 2''' is great for headlines, '''Heading 3''' is good for separating sections of content, and '''Heading 4''' can be used for sub-sections or general sections of content.

'''For Faculty and Staff''' - Digital Accessibility means providing necessary access for persons with disabilities and improving access for as many people as possible. We have a variety of tools available in Canvas to help us double-check our content prior to sharing it with others.
|content=

__TOC__

== Accessibility Checking and Testing ==
* The key to effective digital accessibility is implementing accessible practices proactively, making sure all content is accessible before sharing it with others.
* The accessibility essentials meet both compliance and design best practices.

=== Rich Content Editor ===
* As you create pages, discussions, assignments, and quizzes, you can check for issues via the Rich Content Editor's Accessibility Checker. The checker button resembles DaVinci's Vitruvian Man and is located under the content field at lower right.
* See Canvas guide, [https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/662936-how-do-i-use-the-accessibility-checker-in-the-rich-content-editor How do I use the Accessibility Checker in the Rich Content Editor?]

=== Validate Links in Content ===
Before you publish the site, run the "Validate Links in Content" tool

=== UDOIT Accessibility Checker ===
* UDOIT stands for "Universal Design Online Content Inspection Tool" and is pronounced "You Do It."
* UDOIT can scan your site's web-based content and files to identify accessibility issues.
* UDOIT should be available in your Canvas site's Course Navigation Menu. It is not visible to students, only those in the Teacher and TA role.
** If you do not see UDOIT in the menu, edit Navigation to move UDOIT from the bottom section to the top section at the Navigation page and save your change so the link is available to you via the Course Navigation Menu

Digital Accessibility: ADA Title 2 Rules effective April 2026

2026-03-10T23:46:06Z

Irishb:

<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 ">
<div class="lead">
[[File:Accessibility-human.svg|50px|left]] '''A guide to the updated ADA Title 2 rules for digital accessibility including resources and support available for meeting compliance. See also our college web page [https://www.evergreen.edu/offices-services/information-technology/accessibility on Accessible IT] and [https://canvas.evergreen.edu/courses/5890 self-enroll to the Accessibility Micro-Courses].'''
</div>

== New ADA Title 2 Regulations on Digital Technologies: What it Means ==

* ADA Title 2 updates require state and local government entities to ensure all web content, mobile apps, and digital documents conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. [https://www.ada.gov/resources/small-entity-compliance-guide/ Compliance guide for small entities.]
*Covered content includes websites, apps, social media, videos (with captions/transcripts), and documents (PDFs, Word, slides), requiring compliance by April 24, 2026.
* '''Because Evergreen is a public state institution, we are implementing WCAG 2.2 Level AA,''' the standards which WA State will be requiring starting July 1, 2026. See [https://watech.wa.gov/policies/digital-accessibility-policy Digital Accessibility Policy | WaTech] for details.

=== Required Content and Accessibility Standards: ===
* '''Websites and Apps''': Public-facing websites, mobile apps, and third-party tools provided must be fully accessible.
* '''Digital Documents''': All documents, including PDFs, word-processing files, presentations, and spreadsheets, must be accessible and correctly tagged for screen readers.
* '''Multimedia Content''': Videos must include accurate, synchronized captions, and audio content requires transcripts to support individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.
* '''Non-Text Content''': Images, charts, and graphs require alternative text (alt text) to provide equivalent information to users with visual disabilities.
* '''Interactive Components''': All online forms, widgets, and navigation elements must be operable with assistive technologies.
* '''Archived Content Exception''': Documents created before April 24, 2026, that are used only for reference or record-keeping and are not updated, may be exempt unless specifically requested by a user with a disability.

== What steps do we take? ==

For digital content made
* '''Prior to April 24, 2026''' - Address, remediate, remove, or archive non-accessible content that is available to public or internal access.
* '''After April 24, 2026''' (Federal level) - Any content created needs to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards before making it available to the public or for internal access.
* '''After July 1, 2026''' (WA State level) - Any content created needs to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility standards before making it available to the public or for internal access.

=== Where to start? What to prioritize? ===
* Prioritize addressing public/external-facing, critical and/or student-facing content, such as web pages, online forms, digital newsletters, etc. Content at the college website, www.evergreen.edu, is monitored by the Web Team.
**Perform Accessibility reviews using built-in accessibility checking tools and manual testing as needed.
**Remediate, remove, or archive as appropriate.

* Then work on/apply same process to internal content

==== Tip: Create an “Accessibility” channel in your Team ====
Use your work area's Microsoft Team for communicating and tracking changes and progress.

=== Digital Accessibility Practices and Standards Guides ===
* [[Accessibility Checklist]] - covers the basic essentials: headers, lists, color contrast, descriptive text links, alt text, captions
* [https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/quickref/?versions=2.2&showtechniques=141%2C143&currentsidebar=%23col_customize&levels=aaa#top How to Meet WCAG (Quick Reference) for 2.2 Level AA]

Enrollment Information for Canvas

Help for Faculty and Staff<br />
|content=
Canvas allows us to create a dynamic class list. When students enroll in your offering via Registration they are added to your offering that same day. '''However, they may not have access to the offering's Canvas site up to 24 hours following registration.'''

====When will students be added to my course and when will they have access?====
* Students are enrolled to curricular Canvas sites after they register* - however, students will not have view/interactive access to the site until [http://guides.instructure.com/m/4152/l/57126-how-do-i-publish-my-course the site is published by faculty].
* *When students register for your offering, they are enrolled to your offering that same day, though it may take up to 24 hours for student enrollment to connect to the offering's Canvas site.
*Due to FERPA, students admitted to an ongoing (multi-term) offering will not be added to Canvas sites for terms they are not registered for. For example, Winter Quarter students joining an offering which started in Fall will not have access to the offering's Fall Canvas site.

====What if I see student names I do not recognize?====
*The list of students at a Canvas site's "People" page is live/active data - for a student to appear in your course, and in the Canvas role of "Student," they must have registered for it.
*Students who drop your course will have their enrollment concluded automatically and will be tagged as "inactive" at the site's "People" page. Inactive students may continue to display at the "People" page up through Week 3. If you have questions about this, please submit a support request to Academic Technologies staff via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu].
*Students indicated as "inactive" no longer have access to the Canvas site and will not be able to receive communications through Canvas.

====Waitlisted Students====
* Waitlisted students do not have access to your course until they are officially registered.
* To request that a student be provided temporary site access as an Observer while their registration is being worked out, please see guide, [[LMS Access Exception Process for Faculty]], and submit a support request to Academic Technologies staff via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu] with pertinent details.

==== Manually Adding Users to a Curricular Canvas Site ====

To avoid possible FERPA mishaps, faculty do '''not''' have the ability to add users at their curricular Canvas sites.

Requests to have someone added to your site in any of the following Canvas roles may be submitted via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu] with pertinent details (e.g. which site are they to be added to; person's name, Evergreen email; which role)
* Observer (needs read-access - ability to view most content at site, view Announcements, download files)
* TA (almost same permissions as the Teacher role - program assistant, SIT, workshop facilitator)
* Teacher (needs full edit access - e.g. faculty, instructor)

The Canvas "Student" role is reserved for people who are officially registered for an offering.
* Canvas will seem to allow you to add people, but if that person is not associated with the offering via Banner, the add won't stick, they will get bumped out.
* Because the Canvas "Student" role is tied with Banner, even IT staff are not able to add people in the "Student" role to a Canvas site connected with the auto-enrollment system.

=====How to Request Adding Program Assistants/TAs or Faculty to Your Canvas Site:=====
[http://helpwiki.evergreen.edu/wiki/index.php/Program_Assistants_and_TAs_in_Canvas To have a Program Assistant/TA added], or another faculty member, please submit a request to Academic Technologies via [https://help.evergreen.edu/ help.evergreen.edu].

=====How to Request Adding a non-/not-yet-registered Student to Your Canvas Site:=====
If you have a student who is committed to registering for your program/course but they are experiencing an issue/delay with registration, please submit an [http://helpwiki.evergreen.edu/wiki/index.php/LMS_Access_Exception_Process_for_Faculty LMS Access Exception Request] via [https://help.evergreen.edu/ help.evergreen.edu].

====='''Please Note: Limitations of the LMS Access Exception (LAE) Role'''=====
Students added via this method:
* will '''not''' appear in the Canvas Gradebook
* will '''not''' be able to submit work/files to online assignments
* will '''not''' be able to interact with quizzes
* '''cannot''' be added to a Seminar Section by faculty

If you have questions about this, please submit a support request to Academic Technologies staff via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu].
*Students indicated as "inactive" no longer have access to the Canvas site and will not be able to receive communications through Canvas.

====Waitlisted Students====
* Waitlisted students do not have access to your course until they are officially registered.
* To request a student have temporary access as an Observer while their registration is being worked out, please submit a a support request to Academic Technologies staff via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu] with pertinent details.

==== Manually Adding Users to a Curricular Canvas Site ====

To avoid possible FERPA mishaps, faculty do '''not''' have the ability to add users at their curricular Canvas sites.

Requests to have someone added to your site in any of the following Canvas roles may be submitted via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu] with pertinent details (e.g. which site are they to be added to; person's name, Evergreen email; which role)
* Observer (needs read-access - ability to view most content at site, view Announcements, download files)
* TA (almost same permissions as the Teacher role - program assistant, SIT, workshop facilitator)
* Teacher (needs full edit access - e.g. faculty, instructor)

The Canvas "Student" role is reserved for people who are officially registered for an offering.
* Canvas will seem to allow you to add people, but if that person is not associated with the offering via Banner, the add won't stick, they will get bumped out.
* Because the Canvas "Student" role is tied with Banner, even IT staff are not able to add people in the "Student" role to a Canvas site connected with the auto-enrollment system.

Enrollment Information for Canvas

Help for Faculty and Staff<br />
|content=
Canvas allows us to create a dynamic class list. When students enroll in your offering via Registration they are added to your offering that same day. '''However, they may not have access to the offering's Canvas site up to 24 hours following registration.'''

====When will students be added to my course and when will they have access?====
* Students are enrolled to curricular Canvas sites after they register* - however, students will not have view/interactive access to the site until [http://guides.instructure.com/m/4152/l/57126-how-do-i-publish-my-course the site is published by faculty].
* *When students register for your offering, they are enrolled to your offering that same day, though it may take up to 24 hours for student enrollment to connect to the offering's Canvas site.
*Due to FERPA, students admitted to an ongoing (multi-term) offering will not be added to Canvas sites they are not registered for. For example, Winter Quarter students joining an offering which started in Fall will not have access to the offering's Fall Canvas site.

====What if I see student names I do not recognize?====
*The list of students at a Canvas site's "People" page is live/active data - for a student to appear in your course, and in the Canvas role of "Student," they must have registered for it.
*Students who drop your course will have their enrollment concluded automatically and will be tagged as "inactive" at the site's "People" page. Inactive students may continue to display at the "People" page up through Week 3. If you have questions about this, please submit a support request to Academic Technologies staff via [https://help.evergreen.edu help.evergreen.edu].
*Students indicated as "inactive" no longer have access to the Canvas site and will not be able to receive communications through Canvas.

*Covered content includes websites, apps, social media, videos (with captions/transcripts), and documents (PDFs, Word, slides), requiring compliance by April 24, 2026.
* '''Because Evergreen is a public state institution, we are implementing WCAG 2.2 Level AA,''' the standards which WA State will be requiring starting July 1, 2026. See [https://watech.wa.gov/policies/digital-accessibility-policy Digital Accessibility Policy | WaTech] for details.

=== Required Content and Accessibility Standards: ===
* '''Websites and Apps''': Public-facing websites, mobile apps, and third-party tools provided must be fully accessible.
* '''Digital Documents''': All documents, including PDFs, word-processing files, presentations, and spreadsheets, must be accessible and correctly tagged for screen readers.
* '''Multimedia Content''': Videos must include accurate, synchronized captions, and audio content requires transcripts to support individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.
* '''Non-Text Content''': Images, charts, and graphs require alternative text (alt text) to provide equivalent information to users with visual disabilities.

* '''Archived Content Exception''': Documents created before April 24, 2026, that are used only for reference or record-keeping and are not updated, may be exempt unless specifically requested by a user with a disability.

== What steps do we take? ==

For digital content made

=== Where to start? What to prioritize? ===
* Prioritize addressing public/external-facing, critical and/or student-facing content, such as web pages, online forms, digital newsletters, etc. Content at the college website, www.evergreen.edu, is monitored by the Web Team.
**Perform Accessibility reviews using built-in accessibility checking tools and manual testing as needed.
**Remediate, remove, or archive as appropriate.

* Then work on/apply same process to internal content

==== Tip: Create an “Accessibility” channel in your Team ====
Use your work area's Microsoft Team for communicating and tracking changes and progress.

=== Digital Accessibility Practices and Standards Guides ===
