Course Materials and Learning Management Systems

Most Johns Hopkins University divisions use Canvas as the default Learning Management System (LMS). However, the Bloomberg School of Public Health uses CoursePlus as the LMS and the Center for Talented Youth (CTY) uses Moodle. The following contains a list of resources to help with creating accessible content for course websites:

• Ally for Canvas – Checks your course materials for accessibility and provides an accessibility score, suggestions on improve accessibility and presents alternative file formats for student use
• Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Teaching and Learning Toolkit of Accessibility Best Practices
• CTEI’s Accessibility Guidelines for Course Materials
• JHU has a license for SensusAccess, a tool for converting files into several accessible formats
• Student Accessibility Resources in Canvas
