Insights on accessibility compliance, WCAG standards, and making higher education accessible for everyone.
Aelira Core v0.9.5 adds durable jobs, safer recovery and clearer run evidence for institutions remediating course content.
A line-by-line checklist for procurement and general counsel evaluating AI-assisted accessibility vendors. Eleven contract requirements grounded in the IFR and recent OCR settlements.
Most AI accessibility vendors run inference in the cloud. If a university's student-content data flow passes through that endpoint, the institutional DPA had better cover it. Most do not.
Scanner scores measure conformance under ideal conditions. What regulators actually want to see is a per-document record of human review. Here is what that record needs to contain.
The April 2026 IFR gave universities an extra year. The math says it does not help — manual-only remediation cannot meet 2027/2028 at any institution with a serious archive.
An AI scanner that hallucinates 'graph of student enrollment' on a chemistry diagram does not just fail accessibility — it actively misinforms one student in a way no other student is misinformed.
A pattern across recent OCR settlements: regulators care more about documented process than automated scores. What that means for university accessibility programs.
The DOJ's April 2026 IFR extended the ADA Title II deadlines but tightened the standard for what counts as compliance. A close reading for university counsel.
After the April 2026 IFR, university accessibility compliance is judged on documented process, not scanner scores. Here is what that means for procurement.
A candid look at the gap between IT accessibility efforts and faculty content creation, and how to bridge it.
Compliance is not a one-time achievement. Here is what ongoing accessibility obligations look like after the April 2026 deadline.
Data tables are one of the most common accessibility failures in course materials. Here is how to create tables in Google Sheets that work for everyone.
