[Athen] iPad Switch Technology/Canvas Compatibility

[Brewer, Alison via athen-list]

Greetings!

I am currently working with a student with significant manual dexterity impacts from CP. The student has been provided an iPad with adaptive switch control technology from Easter Seals. The student is taking a class where all coursework is to be uploaded to Canvas, our college's learning management system. The student states that Canvas is not compatible with the switch technology and that she is unable to navigate Canvas. I am wondering if anyone in this group is familiar with Canvas accessibility/compatibility with AAC devices and could provide some perspective. Our college's ITS department felt  that the Canvas app would be more user friendly, but that does not seem to be the case.

Thank you!

Alison
