Case Study

Hurix Digital Enhances Accessibility for Over 100,000 Students for a US-Based Community College

Client Overview

Our client, a prominent US-based community college, serves a diverse student body of over 100,000 individuals across academic, continuing education, and adult education programs. This renowned institution is dedicated to providing inclusive and accessible education to all its students.

The Challenge

In today’s learning landscape with learning becoming digital, the college faced a significant challenge. The institute wanted to ensure that its online course materials and Learning Management System (LMS) were fully accessible to all students, including those with disabilities. Some of the important requirements included:
  • Making sure all digital content was usable by everyone.
  • Providing text descriptions for visual content.
  • Ensuring videos were accessible to hearing-impaired students.
  • Guaranteeing that all interactive components were functional with keyboard and screen reader navigation.
Meeting these accessibility needs was vital to providing an inclusive learning environment and enhancing the educational experience for all students.

Our Solution

Hurix Digital took this challenge head-on to improve the college’s digital learning environment with a comprehensive accessibility compliance plan. This accessible approach included:

1

Thorough Accessibility Audit

  • We conducted a detailed audit of existing course materials and the LMS to identify improvement areas. We also provided necessary recommendations for making content accessible.

2

Implementation of Accessibility Solutions

  • Our AI-powered Alt-text for images tool, EqualSense, was integrated to make visual content accessible to visually impaired students. We added closed captions to videos to make auditory content accessible to hearing-impaired students. Better keyboard navigation for students was implemented to interact seamlessly with course materials using assistive technologies.

3

Training and Empowering Faculty

  • We conducted comprehensive training sessions for faculty and staff on creating accessible content. The educators were equipped with the skills and knowledge to develop and maintain accessible course materials.

The Result

The impact of Hurix Digital’s accessibility initiatives led to amazing results. They were:

  • The college’s online course materials and LMS now meet the highest accessibility standards, ensuring inclusivity for all students.
  • Students with disabilities can now fully engage with course materials, leading to a more equitable and enriching educational experience.
  • The improved accessibility of online resources has attracted more students and increased retention, demonstrating the college’s commitment to inclusivity and excellence in education.
