[Trainer-Talk] The Accessibility of Canvas with JAWS?

[dandrews920 at comcast.net]

I am not a Canvas user, but if I remember it depends on how it is set up,
but I think it is supposed to be pretty accessible.

I could be wrong though, I often am.

Good afternoon,

 

In about a month, I will need to start taking a course that uses the Canvas
platform. In the past, I've heard that the platform was not very accessible
with JAWS. Is this true? If it is accessible, what do I need to know to
effectively use it? 

Does Canvas also have breakout rooms, or is that only with Zoom?

Anyway, I thought I'd ask prior to starting anything so that I could be
properly prepared.

Thanks.

Jim
