Introducing D2L Accessibility+: Smarter, Faster, More Inclusive Learning
At Fusion 2025, D2L proudly introduced D2L Accessibility+, a solution designed and engineered by our trusted partner ansrsource, to help institutions deliver accessible learning content at scale. Accessibility is core to who we are, and this launch reflects our commitment to ensuring education reaches every learner, regardless of age or ability.
From what we’ve seen since we launched it, our customers love this enhancement to our accessibility offerings.
What is Accessibility+?
Brightspace already offers an HTML accessibility checker and auto‑captioning for media. D2L Accessibility+ takes this further by scanning all course content formats, including assignments, quizzes, discussion posts, embedded files, and external links for accessibility issues. It doesn’t stop at detection: the solution provides automated and manual remediation, ensuring thorough coverage rather than a cursory compliance check.
AI powers tasks such as image alt text generation, document structure analysis, PDF remediation, and formula tagging, while human experts review every change for accuracy and context. This hybrid approach ensures both speed and quality.
Why Customers Are Loving It
D2L Accessibility+ combines the speed of AI‑powered, human‑supported automation with the added value of expert human remediation services. The impact for our customers is significant:
- Fixes up to 60% of accessibility issues automatically
- Reduces cost and time by over 70%
- Supports diverse learner needs while maintaining compliance
By reducing manual workload and accelerating remediation, D2L Accessibility+ helps institutions shift from reactive fixes to a proactive accessibility practice, improving learner experiences and reducing compliance risk, without increasing headcount.
