How it works

  1. Drop any file (syllabus, lecture deck, PDF, spreadsheet, or whole Canvas course export).
  2. We scan it and show every proposed accessibility fix with explanations.
  3. Approve the changes you want, click Save, download the cleaned file.

Canvas course export → fix → re-import (avoid duplicates)

  1. Export: In Canvas → Settings (gear icon) → Export Course Content → choose "Course" → Create Export → download the .imscc file when ready.
  2. Fix: Drop that file above. Review changes. Download the cleaned _a11y.imscc.
  3. To avoid duplicate pages on re-import: in Canvas → Settings → scroll to "Reset Course Content" (only on a non-active course shell — never your live course) → confirm reset. Then Settings → Import Course Content → Common Cartridge 1.x → upload your _a11y.imscc.
  4. Alternative (no reset needed): import the cleaned package into a brand-new empty course shell, then use that as your new master.
  5. Verify: open UDOIT inside the new course → click "Scan Now" → score should jump.
