What is the session all about?
Dr. Sara Stephens, the Director of Instructional Design & Technology at Delaware Technical Community College, opened the session by introducing the CHAMPIONS Framework, a strategic model that helps institutions cultivate a holistic digital ecosystem grounded in intentional accessibility by design. This framework empowers leaders, faculty, and staff to embed inclusive practices at every level, moving beyond checklists to create meaningful, sustainable change.
Dr. Sam from D2L picked up the thread to talk about D2L’s ’Shift-up Accessibility’ efforts, which aims to make it easier for education leaders to manage accessibility in their institutions. She also introduced the AIG members to D2L Accessibility+, a holistic solution for content accessibility announced at Fusion last week, with due credits to key players.
She also moderated a discussion with our AIG members centred on three questions:
- What efforts are on at your institution to manage content accessibility?
- What is your wish list of features for a dream solution (tool + systems + processes) that enables you to use the power of AI + human experts to make your content 100% accessible?
- What constraint do you see in making your dream come true?
