How to Access the Course Level Accessibility+ Dashboard
After navigating to a course, select the Accessibility+ Course Dashboard (or similarly named link) from a course navigation menu.
On the Accessibility+ course dashboard, the Overall Course Score displays the average of all the content that can be scanned.
Under Content Overview, it lists:
- The title of the content item
- Whether the content item has been scanned (a percentage score or no score)
- The type of scanned item (note: this will be content)
- The date and time of the last scan was done of the content item
Above the list of items is a search field to search for key words, as well as a filter option to limit the search by Course Material type or Last Audited date.
Tip:
- In the event that a content item has not yet be scanned (no score listed), click on the item's title to open the item in a new browser window. As soon as it opens in the content, the content will be scanned automatically by Accessibility+. Once it has been scanned, navigate back into the course dashboard and refresh the dashboard. At that point, the content item is listed as scanned with a date and time for the last scan.
