Anthology's Fix Your Content Day to Empower Faculty and Advance Digital Accessibility Ahead of ADA Title II Deadlines
Accessibility score for a particular document using Ally.
This year’s event takes on even greater importance as higher education institutions in the United States prepare for upcoming Title II requirements mandating accessible digital content.
“Creating accessible content is a commitment to student success,” said Dr. Amy Lomellini, Director of Accessibility at Anthology. “Fix Your Content Day is an opportunity for institutions to reaffirm that commitment, take measurable action, and empower faculty and staff to make accessibility a daily habit rather than a once-a-year event.”
The event follows new research from Anthology’s 2025 Faculty Survey, which revealed persistent accessibility knowledge gaps across higher education faculty in the United States. While 76% of instructors agree that accessible content improves student outcomes, only 22% of faculty reported they consistently consider accessibility when designing course materials.
“These findings send a clear message: Faculty care deeply about accessibility but need the time, training, and tools to make it part of their everyday workflow,” added Dr. Lomellini. “Fix Your Content Day not only celebrates progress but helps bridge the gap between intent and action.”
With the upcoming ADA Title II updates, the 2025 challenge offers institutions a timely opportunity to:
- Audit and improve their existing digital course materials.
- Engage faculty and staff in hands-on accessibility training.
- Demonstrate leadership in creating equitable learning environments that extend well into the future.
