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

A few things, 
Remember to use your regions command for navigation areas,   usually in
classes this will help you quickly find things like assignments, and various
classes. The links list, is  extremely helpful to find a course, and the
heading command is your best friend. 
  Overall, I have had several students successfully use canvas.

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
