UDOIT – Universal Design Online Inspection Tool
What is UDOIT?
The Universal Design Online Content Inspection Tool, or UDOIT (pronounced, “You Do It”) enables faculty to identify accessibility issues in Canvas courses at MiraCosta College. 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
Video captions
Please note: some items cannot be examined by UDOIT. These include external documents and some videos/audio files for captioning/transcripts.
