[NFBCS] The Accessibility of Canvas with JAWS?

[Wendy Walker]

Canvas itself is accessible as a whole and works best on Chrome in my
experience but you might have issues with individual course pages.
That is, if your school does as mine in which the professor is
responsible for the organization of their own page. Some are great and
some leave you searching for the information you need. They may not
label things correctly. Most of the time if you ask though, they will
make the page more accessible for you (the instructor I mean).

Best Regards,
Wendy Walker
