What types of Canvas content are scanned by UDOIT?

UDOIT scans most of the HTML-based content within your Canvas course to identify accessibility issues that may affect students. While it covers the majority of common content types, there are a few exceptions.

Where can UDOIT scan within your Canvas content?

UDOIT scans the HTML of your Canvas content to look for accessibility issues that could cause trouble for your students. Below are the content types within which UDOIT will scan:

  • Announcements
  • Assignments
  • Discussion descriptions (see below)
  • Classic Quiz instructions (see below)
  • New Quiz descriptions (see below)
  • Pages
  • Syllabus
  • Module URLs

These areas make up the bulk of content created directly in Canvas using the Rich Content Editor (RCE), which is why UDOIT can analyze them. 

Is there any Canvas content UDOIT does not scan?

While the list above will likely cover the majority of your Canvas content, there are a few areas in which UDOIT cannot currently scan.

Discussion Replies

Currently, while UDOIT can scan within the description area of discussion posts for accessibility issues, discussion replies are not scanned.

Discussion posts where UDOIT can, and cannot, scan.

Classic Quiz Questions & Item Banks

While UDOIT does scan the description/instructions area of Canvas Classic Quizzes, due to API limitations, it does not scan quiz questions or item banks.

New Quizzes

At this time, only the instructions field of New Quizzes will be scanned. Item banks are not scanned, but we are working on adding support for them as the New Quizzes API improves.
