When Document Accessibility Happens Outside Canvas, the Work Adds Up

Another tool means more than just another login. Asking faculty to leave Canvas, learn a separate accessibility workflow, and move files between systems adds time and complexity. This makes consistent adoption harder across departments.

The Bigger Impact Across Your Institution

It Doesn’t Scale

Remediating documents one at a time cannot keep pace across hundreds of courses, departments, and growing content volumes.

Central Teams Carry the Load

When faculty cannot complete remediation independently, requests fall back on central accessibility teams, adding manual work and creating bottlenecks.

Accessibility Becomes Inconsistent

Differences in expertise, limited time, and varying levels of support can lead to inconsistent accessibility across courses and departments.

How PREP’s LTI Integration Makes Document Accessibility Part of Canvas LMS

PREP seamlessly integrates with Canvas and automatically surfaces course files. Select, auto-tag, track, review, and save in a few simple steps without moving your workflow outside the LMS.

Open Your Course Files

Go to the Files section in Canvas and open PREP Auto Tag for the course you want to remediate.

Start Auto Tagging

Select the PDF or PDFs you want to process and start auto tagging while PREP handles remediation in the background.

Review & Access the Remediated File

Track progress, review tagged PDFs in the PREP editor if needed, then access the remediated version directly in Canvas.
