Migrations to Canvas

Moving from another LMS or file drive? I convert content into Canvas Modules and align assessments, due dates, and gradebook settings. SCORM/xAPI packages from Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate are packaged and tested end-to-end.

Accessibility by Design (WCAG 2.2)

Captioned media, meaningful alt text, color-contrast compliance, headings/landmarks, keyboard operability, link purpose, and form/quiz accessibility—baked into templates and authoring guidance. Learn more about accessible eLearning.
