You might be asking the wrong questions about document accessibility.
Join us for a free 45-minute conversation on how institutions are approaching remediation at scale, and why so many start in the wrong place.
The questions everyone starts with
What tools do we need? How do we train faculty to understand accessibility? What new processes are required?
These come up first in almost every conversation about document accessibility, and they're not bad questions. They just assume the shape of the answer before everyone's agreed on the shape of the problem.
The question worth starting with instead
How do we sustainably meet our accessibility obligations without trying to make every faculty member an expert in WCAG 2.1 AA?
Remediation is no longer a disability office problem. With ADA Title II around the corner, it is an institutional priority. It requires a different way of thinking and a plan sturdy enough to survive a change in budget, a change in staff or a change in regulation.
