Video accessibility for higher education teams facing massive backlogs

Responsible for a huge backlog of lecture recordings and no realistic manual-only path to coverage.

Needs faster turnaround on individual accommodation requests without rebuilding the institution around emergency vendor work.

Wants accessibility embedded into the publishing workflow so faculty do not need to become specialists.

Needs one defensible operating model across multiple campuses, departments, and budgets.

Universities often have tens or hundreds of thousands of recordings that cannot realistically be remediated one by one through a manual-only model.

Individual student needs arrive on short timelines, but the existing process is often too slow and too dependent on ad hoc coordination.

Accessibility programs stall when the process requires every instructor to learn a specialist workflow or remember extra steps at upload time.

Multi-campus institutions often have inconsistent standards, inconsistent budgets, and no shared reporting on which content is accessible.

The practical goal is not to treat every video the same. It is to combine large-scale processing with a risk-based remediation strategy.

A platform workflow makes it easier to handle reactive accommodation requests without waiting for a full procurement or vendor setup cycle.

The strongest fit is when accessibility becomes part of the institution’s normal video operations instead of a separate emergency process.

Universities need a way to show progress, coverage, and prioritization across departments and campuses, not just individual completion events.
