Overview
Legal and civil rights offices asked for a defensible plan to improve digital accessibility at scale.
Approach:
- Automated scan + human review triage
- Faculty-friendly fix patterns (headings, contrast, captions)
- Office hours for complex media
The Challenge
Courses had years of organic growth — inconsistent headings, contrast failures, and missing captions.
The Solution
A sprint model with shared snippets, caption workflows, and Ally dashboards wired to department chairs.
Results
High-enrollment courses cleared first; student disability office tickets dropped 38% YoY.
