Hi Ana,

The university I work for uses Canvas, and I've used it both as an instructor and as a student.  I have JAWS 2018.  I have found it to be both accessible and intuitive.  Blackboard seems clunky to me (I've used it recently also), whereas Canvas seems intuitive.  Hope this helps.
Catherine

Subject: [VICUG-L] Canvass LMS

Hi All,


My campus is switching over to the Canvass learning management system. 
Does anyone here have any experience with it? If yes, how accessible is it, and is there anything I need to keep in mind for a smoother experience?


I'm familiar with Blackboard, the LMS used by my institution until now. 
My sighted friends tell me Canvass is more intuitive and easier to use, 
but the little I've found on the web suggests its accessibility is 
so-so. the Canvass website does have an accessibility statement that 
says it's substantially accessible, but I'd like to hear from people who 
have actually used it recently, either as a student or as an instructor.


Thanks for any wisdom.


Ciao
