Before you make tools from an external site available through your course, be
21-
sure to review the tools to ensure that they are accessible to people with
22-
disabilities. For example, in addition to testing the LTI components that you
23-
add to your course, you can ask third party providers to confirm that a tool is
24-
accessible, and, if available, contact your on campus accessibility support
25-
services for additional guidance. For more information, see :ref:`Accessibility
