Alternative Formats for Accessibility in Canvas

Disabilities are very common in our community. At OTECH, we believe that every student has a right to access quality educational experiences. If you are one of the millions of people who has a disability, know that you are welcome here at OTECH.

 

OTECH’s flagship accessibility software is a product in Canvas, called “Anthology Ally.” You’ll find it everywhere in Canvas, recognizable by the small “A” next to Canvas content. Select this icon to download your Canvas content into other formats – even other languages!
