Automated Scanning with UDOIT
The UDOIT tool scans the HTML of the following content items to identify potential issues:
- Announcements
- Assignments
- Classic Quiz Instructions
- Discussions
- Pages
- Syllabus & Module URLs
UDOIT specifically looks for issues with existing Page Headings (H2, H3, H4...).
Why Headings Matter
Headings are responsive design elements. They automatically change size to fit screens on different devices (phones, tablets, desktops), ensuring your content is readable everywhere.
Understanding Heading Levels
H1
Main Title
Use this once per page for the main document title.
H2
Subsection
Major sections within the document.
H3
Topic within a Subsection
Breaking down subsections further.
H4
Detailed Topic
Specific details within a topic.
Summary & Key Takeaways
- • Avoid "Title" or "Subtitle" styles. Instead, use Heading 1 (H1) for the title of the document or page. When exporting to PDF or other formats, "Title" and "Subtitle" styles may not be recognized by screen readers.
- • Create correctly from the start. Use heading structures during the initial creation of documents rather than retroactively updating them.
- • Digital Literacy. This workflow may take a little getting used to, but it will help you integrate accessibility as part of your own digital literacy across different tools.
