Join Aim for Accessible!

We invite you to join colleagues from across the University in a challenge to fix accessibility issues in your Canvas courses. The Pope Tech tool in Canvas makes it easy for you to chart a course toward creating a more inclusive learning environment. At the end of each quarter, we’ll list participants who complete the challenge on our Aim for Accessible Wall of Fame. As a bonus, we’ll offer rewards (AKA “swag”) to participants who complete the challenge for a course!
