Accessibility Remediation Sprints: Get Started with the 3Rs (2026)
In this session, we will explore an overall approach to accessibility remediation, the 3Rs:
- Remove
- Remediate
- Refresh
We’ll define the 3Rs and offer time for folks to start their own Accessibility Remediation Plan and Timeline.
About Accessibility Sprints
D2L Brightspace now features Accessibility+, an integrated tool that scans course content and conducts an automated accessibility audit based on WCAG 2.1 standards (Levels A, AA, and AAA) and ISO 14289 for PDFs.
Instructors receive a detailed accessibility report outlining which criteria were evaluated and whether each passed or failed.
As faculty work to remediate materials, they may encounter criteria that are unfamiliar or require strategies they have not yet developed. To support this process, a series of Accessibility Sprints will be offered during the Spring 2026 term. These sessions will provide practical guidance on making basic changes to improve files that did not meet specific accessibility standards.
