Changes to Microsoft Immersive Reader: An Increase in Accessibility

 For those who aren't familiar, Microsoft Immersive Reader is an accessibility feature within Canvas that allows users to enhance their reading experience by improving accessibility and boosting reading comprehension. It is currently only possible to be enabled at the administrator level. 

Starting on September 29th, 2021 this feature can now be enabled by each user, including students, under User Settings. This will allow users who want to utilize the Immersive Reader to do so at their discretion.
