Overview

When adding an external link Canvas using the Rich Content Editor (Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, Quizzes, or Syllabus) attach it to words that describe the target page.

Screen readers are audio interfaces and will read stand-alone hyperlinks character-by-character, which makes it nearly impossible for non-sighted users to comprehend what the link is referring to. In addition, accessible hyperlinks are more meaningful to all users.

Only include stand-alone hyperlinks when they are short and easily readable such as canvas.elmira.edu (Links to an external site.)
