What is UDOIT?
Miami University has integrated an accessibility checker tool called UDOIT (Universal Design Online content Inspection Tool) into all courses. The University of Central Florida, sponsored by a Canvas project fund, developed UDOIT. After the UDOIT application runs you will receive a report with a list of errors and suggestions. Whenever possible, it is important to correct both errors and suggestions.
