Hello All,
We have been an institution utilizing Ally for almost over a decade. One of the benefits is that it picks up the HTML issues for Canvas Rich content areas. The CON does not allow direct links to that area or highlight where it is reading the claimed issue. I would say 95% of the time, Canvas's Accessibility checker does pull up the same problems. Though I am conflicted, Ally should have that responsibility. Instead, it should be Canvas because some institutions do not have Ally.
It would be an ultimate dream for Canvas to have a central course area that lists all the Rich Content areas flagged by the Accessibility Checker, just like the Validate Broken Links. Canvas could merge the areas, as broken links are considered accessibility concerns. This would simplify the quality checks rather than going into every area to ensure no bubble is over the checker.
Thank you!
