Hello and happy fall from the Cidi Labs team! We hope your school year is off to a good start and maybe even has some semblance of normalcy to it. This edition of the newsletter will fill you in on all the good things we’ve been up to since we last wrote in June.  Click here for a pdf version of this newsletter.
Version 3.0 of UDOIT Cloud – our Canvas course accessibility checker – is a significant leap forward in the functionality and user experience of the platform and was released in July.
This new version also expands the UDOIT administrative capabilities, providing greater visibility into the accessibility efforts across all courses in a Canvas account.

In July, we hosted our very popular customer meeting (virtually) and it was packed with helpful information and inspiration for the year to come. You can find recordings of each session here, but you definitely don’t want to miss this one:
In this session, Kenneth provided an in-depth look at progress that has been made on this exciting new version of DesignPLUS, and more information on when it will be available.

Check out this 2 minute video or our Knowledgebase Article to learn more about enabling this tool for course admins and students.
In order to continue to delight our almost 400(!) customers, we’ve recently added two new members to the Cidi Labs team.Â
