UDOIT

The Universal Design Online content Inspection Tool, or UDOIT (pronounced, “You Do It”) enables instructors to identify accessibility issues in e-Learning courses. The UDOIT tool will scan a course, generate a report, and provide resources on how to address common accessibility issues.

Using UDOIT

Tutorial Resources

Getting Started

To enable the UDOIT tool in your e-Learning course, open settings from the left-hand navigation.

Under the navigation tab, move the UDOIT tool from the "hidden from students" section to the "course navigation" section.  The UDOIT tool will not be visible to students.

Your first report may show hundreds of errors.  This is normal for an initial report!  By addressing the most common errors in your course the number reduces quickly.
