Schoology

Accessible content in Schoology supports all learners, including students who use assistive technology, access content on mobile devices, or rely on translation tools.

Use native text for instructions and learning materials, apply headings to organize content, and caption all videos. Ensure documents and links are accessible, and avoid uploading scanned worksheets or image-based instructions. Accessibility in Schoology is part of effective instructional design—not an add-on.
