When adding documents to your course, use accessible formats such as Word, tagged PDFs, or PowerPoint. For Word documents, use heading styles, alt text for images, and proper tables and lists. For PDFs, make sure the text is selectable, headings are tagged, and the reading order is correct; avoid scanned pages such as book copies or printed handouts. In PowerPoint, use built-in slide layouts, add alt text to images, and ensure the reading order matches the visual content. Inside all documents, format images, links, tables, and other elements properly to maintain accessibility. When possible, convert static documents into Canvas pages to improve readability and accessibility for students.
