WAVE is a web accessibility checker from the folks at WebAIM. I recommend using their browser extension to check the accessibility of any pages you're creating online. I find WAVE does better than the built-in accessibility checker in your LMS.

Course Modules: Visual Design in Canvas
Course Modules: Visual Design in Canvas
Does it seem odd that a course on visual design would be bad design? A few reasons this course fails: (1) There is a lack of understanding of the audience, who are instructors in Canvas (for example, there's a whole module on "color palettes," probably not a top priority or really even that doable). (2) The recommendations are bad practice for accessibility. It's one thing to create something that's not accessible, but then to actually recommend doing things that are bad for accessibility (like using tables for layout)... it's unconscionable.
