Accessibility Conformance Report published by D2L
Partial extraction. We read 0 of 31 Level A and 0 of 24 Level AA criteria from this document (0% coverage). The remainder are missing from our extraction, not necessarily from D2L's report — their table layout defeated our parser. Treat the figures below as incomplete and read the source document for the full picture.
