UDOIT - Course Accessibility Scorecard [UW-Madison]

A Course Accessibility Scorecard: This interactive scorecard gives you an overall accessibility score for your course and highlights specific areas where small improvements can have a big impact.

In March of 2025, UDOIT released a Course Accessibility Scorecard that is available on all Canvas courses. 

Accessibility scorecard, including an overall score and collapsible panels of high, medium, and low impact issues.

UDOIT presents an overall score for the course (shown in the image above). Below, the scorecard gives you a breakdown of the score based on the impact to the course. 

You can click anywhere on the impact line to expand it and see the details. 

An expanded view of the "page headings" issue type.

  • If you select an issue type in the first column of the table, UDOIT will take you to a screen with a filtered list of all of the barriers that are affecting the score for that issue type. 
  • To see details of the score, select the percentage score on the right (circled on the screenshot above). A pop up screen will open with a breakdown of the Critical, Moderate, and Minor barriers and successes identified by UDOIT. Then it calculates the percentage based on that.


Please note: With our version of UDOIT, files are NOT scanned, and will always show as N/A. They are still being shown in their area of impact. Please use UDOIT as a checklist of your files to make sure they are accessible.
