What Do the Small "Gauges" Mean?
Students do not see these gauges.
Next to each uploaded document a small gauge will appear to indicate the level at which the file is accessible.
Dark Green icon = Perfect
Light Green icon = High Accessibility
Orange icon = Medium Accessibility
Red icon = Low Accessibility
Students do not see these gauges. These are for instructors to easily identify content needing accessibility improvements.
Clicking on the gauge will open directions for how to improve the accessibility of the document.
