Canvas is the official learning management system of the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Canvas simplifies course management tasks: publishing course materials, grading, communicating with students, and more. Information from Canvas about their accessibility is available on the Canvas Product Accessibility website, and in their blog post Accessibility within Canvas.

Accessibility of Course Content
All academic courses contain digital content, whether they are taught in-person, online, or a little bit of both. Even if Canvas does their part and provides an accessible overall framework, accessibility of a course within Canvas depends on instructors to create accessible content and upload accessible resources. This means that as content creators, faculty must do their best to ensure that the course content they are building is accessible to all students. Information on accessibility of documents, videos, and online meetings is available throughout this website.
