Cidi Labs tool set includes:• UDOIT Cloud scans your courses, identifies errors, and provides guidance to improve accessibility• TidyUP identifies unpublished pages, delete outdated content and remove empty folders in Canvas• ReadyGO integrates with the Canvas API to provide instructional design teams and managers with the tools and insights they need to prepare their courses before a semester starts.I look forward to working with the existing local clients and adding to the 380 higher education and K-12 customers currently using Cidi Labs tools.
