Here are some handy videos from Instructure. I'd suggest browsing through these videos now and in the future to learn what you need to know or brush up on your Canvas skills! You may also wish to contact your local CMC campus to see if they're offering a student orientation to Canvas.

Helping students with disabilities to be successful at CMC

Disability Services at Colorado Mountain College assists students with disabilities with their college classes. Individuals with disabilities who attend or plan to attend CMC may receive reasonable accommodations, academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids in order to have equal access in the classroom.

The laws requiring post-secondary institutions to provide these services to otherwise qualified students include Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Support services are structured to meet the individual needs of students who have disabilities and who are registered with the Disability Services Coordinator on campus.

Canvas provides a user experience that is easy, simple, and intuitive. Special attention has been paid to making Canvas screen-readable. The Rich Content Editor encourages users to create accessible content pages (i.e. text formatting is accomplished using styles). Canvas is designed to allow limited customization of colors and schemes to be accessible for all users. The National Federation of the Blind granted Canvas the Gold Level Web Certification in 2010.
