Why it Matters: Every year higher education sees a record number of lawsuits related to digital content accessibility. 2023 was another record-setting year for digital accessibility lawsuits targeting higher education. Accessible digital content is vital in higher education. It ensures inclusivity for students with disabilities, accommodates diverse learning styles, offers flexibility and enhances learning outcomes. These are long-term benefits that also conform to existing legal requirements. Accessible digital content also promotes ethical considerations like fairness and equal opportunities for all learners.
