The programs and apps that you choose affect the accessibility of your course.

It is not always easy to tell whether a tool is accessible or not, but help is available!

When choosing a new tools for your course, consider whether it is an IC-supported tool or not. More support is available for IC supported tool and it is more likely that the app or program has been vetted for accessibility.

Whether a tool is accessible is affected by its features and by how the tool is used. For example:

Using an external microphone instead of a built-in one improves audio quality for video conferencing.
Ensuring that Live Transcription is enabled in Zoom meetings makes captions available to all participants.
Flipgrid captions are only available if they are tuned on BEFORE making a grid.
Canvas content is ONLY accessible if page content is designed with accessibility principles in mind.
