Featured this spring: Updated policy samples on classroom recordings and AI wearables, guidance and support for making your materials more digitally accessible, and a streamlined version of the Gen AI Policy and Assignment Design Self-Check Tool that guides reflection on your spring course through the lens of one focal assignment. The Self-Check survey gives feedback keyed to your responses and takes about eight minutes to complete.

Video and Audio Captions
Video and audio captions are essential for creating accessible and inclusive learning experiences. By presenting information both visually and audibly, captions can improve clarity, support comprehension, and help all learners engage more fully with course materials.
In Canvas:
- Use Panopto’s automated captioning to add captions to your Panopto videos and then review them to ensure they are accurate and complete.
- Find and use video and audio content that provides captions and/or transcripts.
- What to Do: Add accurate, complete captions to all videos
