On November 18, our campus will join institutions worldwide for Fix Your Content Day 2025, hosted by Anthology. This 24-hour competition is part of our ongoing commitment to improving educational access and student success!

Together, we’ll aim to fix as many accessibility issues and course files as possible using Anthology Ally. Ally is an accessibility tool that is built right into our Canvas Sites, providing accessibility indicators throughout as well as an in-depth accessibility report. Every fix—big or small—contributes to a more effective learning environment for all students.

No need to register. Simply log into your Canvas courses, review accessibility issues, and start fixing!

How you can help:

• Review your courses for red and orange indicators
• Focus on quick wins:
  • Add image descriptions (often referred to as alt text).
  • Improve your Microsoft Word documents using Microsoft’s accessibility checker.
  • Update your Google Slides, Sheets, and Docs with Grackle.
• Start fixing on November 18 and keep things going throughout the day
• Try to get any flagged content to 100%, but remember that improvement is what counts!
