===What is UDOIT?===
{{Collapsed|

*The Universal Design Online content Inspection Tool, or UDOIT (pronounced, “You Do It”) 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.
*It 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===
{{Collapsed|

To scan your site and check for accessibility issues:
*Click on “UDOIT” in the Course Navigation menu.
*A pop-up window should appear, asking you to authorize access to your (Canvas) account.
*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.
