Accessibility in Canvas

Canvas is committed to ensuring its products are accessible to users with disabilities.

The Canvas LMS strives for WCAG 2.1 Level A/AA and Section 508 conformance. Canvas has been evaluated by Instructure and WebAIM according to WCAG 2.1 standards. Testing is regularly conducted using automated tools, assistive technology (such as screen readers, keyboard testing, etc.), and coding best practices. Read more about accessibility within Canvas.
