How does UDOIT help make content more accessible?

Once UDOIT identifies errors and offers suggestions to make your content more accessible, you can use the UFIXIT interface to easily remediate accessibility errors without leaving Canvas. You can quickly perform actions like naming links descriptively, providing alt text for your images, and ensuring accurate color contrast - all from within UDOIT! And then, those changes are permanently applied to the content in your course. 

Also, our Review Course Files area brings issues in files to your attention. You can remediate them offline and replace them (anywhere they've been used in the course) through the UDOIT interface, or you can ask UDOIT to generate Alternate Formats of those files, such as Canvas Pages or an Auto-Tagged PDFs.
