How to Check 1g:

During the course design process:

Canvas:
- While in the "Rich Content Editor", look for notifications from the Canvas Accessiblity Checker (the person icon on the bottom right of the text box).
- Look for the issue:
  - Tables should include a caption describing the contents of the table.

After Canvas pages created and for uploaded files:

Run Ally Accessibility Report
- Look for the following alert:
  - Data or header cells should not be used to give caption to a data table

Note that Canvas Accessibility Checker and Ally do not check documents for table description. This should be included when the page or document is being created (see below for instructions).

How to Address 1g:

Canvas: Table Accessibility in Canvas (Step 1)
