Purdue Announces Vendor Demonstration Recordings – Feedback Needed by Jan. 30

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.  

Recordings of the vendor demonstrations are now available for viewing on the Instructional Material ADA Readiness webpage. 

Faculty, instructors, and staff across all Purdue campuses are encouraged to watch the recordings and provide feedback. Your input is essential to ensure the selected solution meets the needs of our diverse teaching environments.

Each demonstration session is approximately one hour and 30 minutes long and showcases the features and capabilities of the proposed remediation tools. Your feedback will help guide the final selection process and ensure Purdue instructors have the best resources available. 

How to provide feedback on remediation tool vendors

  • Visit the Instructional Material ADA Readiness webpage to access links to the vendor demonstration recordings. 
  • After viewing, please submit your feedback using the Qualtrics survey linked on the webpage.
