"I'm considering removing all slide presentations and images from Canvas courses rather than jump through hoops."
— Faculty member, r/Professors (47 upvotes)
Faculty are overwhelmed. They won't adopt complex new accessibility tools. Here's how to automate 90% of accessibility work so faculty don't need to change their workflow.
Train 500 faculty on new accessibility tool 5% adoption rate Compliance fails
IT processes files automatically 100% coverage Compliance succeeds
Average faculty member juggles: teaching 3-4 courses, research, committee work, student advising, grant writing. They have no bandwidth for new tools.
"There is no additional compensation for meeting the new guidelines. This is just more unpaid labor."
— Assistant Professor, r/Professors
Universities send 10-page PDFs on "How to Use YuJa Panorama." Faculty ignore them. Compliance fails.
Faculty have workflows built over 10-20 years:
Asking them to change = resistance, delay, compliance failure.
Faculty feel blindsided by "sudden" compliance requirements. Instead of embracing accessibility, they:
You need 100% compliance across 500 faculty Requiring individual adoption = guaranteed failure.
Instead of asking faculty to change their workflow, IT processes files automatically after faculty upload to Canvas/Blackboard.
Faculty continues using existing workflow: upload PDFs, PowerPoint, LaTeX to LMS.
IT exports all course files from Canvas/Blackboard using LMS API or manual download.
Run CLI command: aelira batch-process ./course-files All files remediated in minutes.
Replace original files with remediated versions. Faculty never notices the difference.
Result: 100% faculty compliance (because they don't need to do anything)
Time per course: 1-2 hours (vs 40-80 hours manual)
Aelira will automatically scan and remediate files as soon as faculty uploads them to Canvas.
Faculty uploads PDF to Canvas
Aelira processes in background (30 seconds)
Accessible version replaces original automatically
Faculty never notices (100% transparent)
Blackboard and D2L integrations also available.
Make accessibility automatic. Faculty keep using existing workflow.
