a US-based community college improves accessibility for 100,000+ students with Hurix Digital

A US-based community college serving over 100,000 students faced the challenge of making its online course materials and Learning Management System fully accessible to all learners, including those with disabilities. The institution needed to provide text descriptions for visual content, add captions to videos, and ensure all interactive components were navigable by keyboard and screen reader. To meet this need for an inclusive digital learning environment, they partnered with Hurix Digital.

Hurix Digital implemented a comprehensive solution that included a thorough accessibility audit and the integration of its AI-powered tool, EqualSense, to generate alt-text for images. They also added closed captions to videos and improved keyboard navigation. The result was that the college's materials now meet the highest accessibility standards, allowing students with disabilities to fully engage. This commitment to inclusivity led to an increase in student retention and attraction.
