Fast, faculty-friendly accessibility. See it live, in one hour. One of the biggest opportunities I see for institutions right now isn't finding more accessibility issues. Most teams already have more than they know what to do with. It's making those issues easy enough to understand and act on that faculty don't need to become accessibility experts overnight. I've sat with admins staring at a spreadsheet of hundreds of flagged items, not sure where to even start. That paralysis is usually the real blocker, not effort or intent. On Thursday, September 17 at 1:00 PM ET, I'm co-hosting Driving Accessibility with Ally with Katie Grennell, PhD of Blackboard to show what it looks like when that gets easier. We'll walk through how Blackboard® Ally helps teams see where issues are concentrated and turn that into two or three real next steps, plus how faculty can make fixes without leaving their normal workflow. I'll share what that looked like on our campus, including how fast we were able to get moving. It doesn't matter if you're on Canvas, D2L, or Moodle. If this is the problem you're carrying, come spend an hour with us. Save your seat with the link in comments!

The Title II deadline moved. Here's how to actually get ahead of it. Many institutions I talk to are still viewing Title II through a compliance lens: identify what's broken, fix it, and move on. But the institutions making the most progress are taking a different approach, investing in tools and workflows that make accessibility part of everyday content creation and course design. Knowing what needs to be fixed is rarely the biggest obstacle. Acting on it at scale is, and turning that knowledge into a realistic, sustainable path forward is where Blackboard® Ally comes in. The institutions doing this well aren't racing to fix everything at once. They're using the time they have now to identify where issues are concentrated, give instructors practical guidance, improve access for students, and build a strategy that can scale. Join us on Thursday, September 17 at 1:00 PM ET for Driving Accessibility with Ally. We'll show how Ally improves accessibility for students and instructors, helps institutions scale their efforts, and gets teams up and running quickly through a streamlined implementation process. You'll also hear from the lovely April Akins, M.Ed., M.S.I.S., M.S.W., Assistant Systems Administrator Akins Greenville Technical College share her institution's experience with Ally and the role it has played in advancing their accessibility strategy over time. If you're evaluating accessibility solutions for your institution, I'd love to have you join us! Register at https://lnkd.in/gXut4kb4.
