4. Higher-Ed Accessibility FAQ & Open-Source CLI
DOJ 28 CFR PART 35 SUBPART H // WCAG 2.1 LEVEL AAWhy do uploaded PDFs trigger red gauges in Anthology / Blackboard Ally and YuJa Panorama?
PDFs exported from Word, PowerPoint, Google Docs, LaTeX, or scanner copiers routinely lack /Lang metadata, document titles, semantic H1-H4 tag trees, table <TH> scope attributes, and figure alt text - dropping Ally scores below 35%.
Does importing the .imscc package raise our Canvas accessibility dashboard score?
Yes. Replacing untagged PDF attachments with remediated native Canvas Wiki Pages resolves document language, title, heading hierarchy, table header, contrast, list, and link-purpose checks simultaneously while archiving or removing the legacy PDF.
Can instructional designers audit raw HTML files from the command line too?
Yes. Our companion MIT open-source CLI toolkit (github.com/jdurey/ada-title2-canvas-imscc) lets higher-ed accessibility engineers run automated 12-rule WCAG 2.1 AA audits in CI/CD or terminal pipelines.
