Make lists accessible in Canvas

Use Canvas list formatting so the structure is available to everyone, not just visually.

What UDOIT / Canvas may flag: text that visually looks like a list but is not coded as a real list.

Use the list buttons instead of typing the appearance of a list.

Choose the right kind of list.

Use a numbered list when sequence matters. Use a bulleted list when it does not.

Select the items and use Canvas's list tool.

• Bulleted list1. Numbered list

Do not type dashes or numbers manually to imitate a list.

Real list formatting tells assistive technology that a list exists and how many items it contains.
