In the past year, higher education around the world has seen a rapid increase in digital learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This digital transformation in education presents both new challenges and opportunities, particularly for students with disabilities. On the one hand, research finds students with disabilities often prefer digital learning experiences because they offer greater flexibility and can be used more efficiently with assistive technologies (Gierdowski & Galanek, 2020). On the other hand, digital content that does not meet accessibility standards creates barriers for students with disabilities that can negatively impact their opportunities for academic success. Failure on the part of institutions in the United States to adequately serve the needs of students with disabilities has resulted in an increase in accessibility-related lawsuits. Tools that can help institutions deliver more accessible digital learning experiences are critical to ensuring all students can benefit equally from the opportunities offered by this digital transformation.
