The Accessibility Solution for D2L Brightspace

Find and document accessibility issues in D2L Brightspace course materials, instructor uploads, content modules, DOCX files, PDFs, and LMS review workflows.

Accessibility review inside the LMS content lifecycle

D2L course files are often uploaded after documents have already been created elsewhere. Inkable helps teams review those materials where they become student-facing content.

What Inkable checks

  • Course document structure and heading hierarchy
  • Alt text gaps in uploaded instructional files
  • Tables, lists, links, and readable document organization
  • PDF accessibility barriers before students encounter them

Evidence for reviewers

  • Course-material issue summaries
  • Reviewer-friendly remediation notes
  • Status reporting for accessibility programs
  • Evidence aligned to WCAG, Section 508, and PDF/UA

Where it fits

A workflow for real document handoffs

Instructional designers and faculty upload syllabi, readings, handouts, presentations, PDFs, and DOCX files into Brightspace content modules.

Accessibility teams need a way to identify document barriers at the course-material layer, not only at the LMS platform layer.

Program owners need evidence that student-facing course files were reviewed before or after publication.

Common issues

The barriers reviewers need to find

Uploaded readings and handouts with missing headings, untagged PDFs, inaccessible tables, or image-only pages.

Course documents with missing alt text, repeated vague links, and poor document navigation for screen-reader users.

Files copied across terms that carry forward older accessibility barriers without a clear review record.

D2L is where course documents become student-facing. Reviewing files in that workflow helps institutions catch accessibility barriers before learners depend on the material.

Common review targets include syllabi, handouts, readings, DOCX files, PDFs, slide decks, and other uploaded content module resources.

Inkable Docs uses AI to try our best to surface issues, suggest fixes, and organize evidence so teams can save time and quicken the accessibility review process. Context-heavy decisions still benefit from careful human judgment.
