White space (or negative space) should be used around and between text lines, large blocks of text, and images to increase comprehension and reduce eye fatigue. Additionally, adjustments can be made for students with dyslexia (who might experience merged or distorted text).

How to Check 4f:

Visually inspect documents and Canvas pages for appropriate spacing and grouping of information.

How to Address 4f:

When creating documents or Canvas pages, leave the default margins and line spacing. If you are copying and pasting something into Canvas, double-check to be sure the text is not crowded or improperly spaced.
