Providing learners multiple ways to connect and engage with course content is essential to an inclusive, universally designed learning experience. Yet building that experience in Canvas can be challenging—from offering choice without creating endless scrolling, to designing reflection opportunities that students won’t overlook. If you’re seeking practical strategies to build more inclusive content engagement, join us for the first webinar in our “Building Universal Design in Canvas” mini-series. We’ll demonstrate how thoughtful course design can bring key universal design principles to life in Canvas without the usual trade-offs. In this session, you’ll see how DesignPLUS makes it simple to offer students more choice, interaction, and agency—no coding required. You’ll explore time-saving design techniques, view real examples of interactive and accessible course elements, and learn how to quickly build flexible learning experiences for a single course or at scale.

Representing course concepts in varied ways is central to inclusive, universally designed learning experiences. Yet best intentions quickly turn into cognitive overload in Canvas through jam-packed modules or content pages full of otherwise helpful images, videos, linked resources, and more. Join us for the second webinar in our “Building Universal Design in Canvas” mini-series to turn those barriers into better design. We’ll walk through practical ways to create well-structured, student-friendly experiences that support every learner’s content understanding. No HTML expertise required as we’ll showcase how DesignPLUS, the no-code solution for Canvas course design, makes it easy to structure and style your content to support learner perception and knowledge building–right inside the Canvas editor.
Providing options for how students demonstrate their learning removes common barriers to success and is a key tenet of universal design principles. And reducing barriers so students can truly show their learning sounds simple—until you try to build it in Canvas. Join us to turn that struggle into success as we explore how good design can facilitate varied action and expression right inside Canvas. From improved navigation options to no-stakes interactive assessments to precisely-placed scaffolds, we’ll showcase how DesignPLUS makes it easy to design for learner agency and self-monitoring–no coding required. You’ll walk away from this final webinar of our “Building Universal Design in Canvas” ready to create Canvas experiences that empower students to engage and succeed on their terms.
