Building Universal Design in Canvas: Inclusive Engagement

Providing learners multiple ways to connect and engage with course content is essential to an inclusive, universally designed learning experience. Yet building that experience in Canvas can be challenging—from offering choice without creating endless scrolling, to designing reflection opportunities that students won’t overlook. If you’re seeking practical strategies to build more inclusive content engagement, join us for the first webinar in our “Building Universal Design in Canvas” mini-series. We’ll demonstrate how thoughtful course design can bring key universal design principles to life in Canvas without the usual trade-offs. In this session, you’ll see how DesignPLUS makes it simple to offer students more choice, interaction, and agency—no coding required. You’ll explore time-saving design techniques, view real examples of interactive and accessible course elements, and learn how to quickly build flexible learning experiences for a single course or at scale.
