Purdue Announces ADA Remediation Tool Vendors Demonstrations

As part of Purdue University’s system-wide initiative to support instructors as they transition their course materials in alignment with the new digital accessibility standards issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Purdue conducted a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a digital content remediation tool that will be integrated into Brightspace and assist instructors in identifying and correcting accessibility issues in instructional materials. The submission process for vendors is closed, and the University is pleased to announce the vendors participating in demonstrations as part of the remediation tool evaluation process.  

The following vendors have been invited to present their remediation solutions:

  • D2L Accessibility
  • Yuja
  • Anthology Ally

Demonstrations will take place in the middle of January 2026. Faculty, instructors, and staff across all Purdue campuses are encouraged to watch the recordings and provide feedback when released on Mon., Jan. 19. Each session will be approximately two hours long and followed with a feedback survey to ensure all voices are heard before a final selection is made. 

The selected remediation tool will play a critical role in helping Purdue instructors meet the April 2026 compliance deadline for accessible instructional materials. Your participation ensures the chosen solution meets the needs of our diverse teaching environments. 

Visit the Instructional Material ADA Readiness webpage for the most current information, including: 

  • Access links for recordings of the tool demonstrations available Mon., Jan. 19.
  • Survey deadlines for the remediation tool Fri., Jan. 30.
  • Support resources to assist with converting course material for accessibility.
  • ADA Drop-in times (live, informal support sessions) running through Fri., May 8.
