Hi.
Has anyone ever used a Learning Management platform called Canvas? If so, can
you tell me how usable it is from an accessibility standpoint? Will it work
well with Safari on the Mac? Instructure, the company that produces canvas has
also created apps for the iPad. How usable are they?
My school uses it for any class that wants it. Currently, history is the only
class that has stepped forward to try it. It works fairly well, actually.
