Faculty are often told what accessibility requires.
But they are not always given enough support to implement it.
In our Venngage roundtable, Jay Pope from Pope Tech shared why accessibility can feel overwhelming for faculty - especially when they inherit old PDFs, slides, and course materials they may not have created themselves.
The solution cannot be more requirements alone.
It has to include practical training, better workflows, clear starting points, and tools that help faculty create accessible content from the beginning.

Ability to become difficult for faculty, Well, they're already overwhelmed. So kind of along with Colette and what Tanya were saying. And so if they're already overwhelmed and we're trying to throw one new thing at them, it's just like this other thing that I'm just becoming aware of and I'm already behind. Or maybe I'm aware, but I don't really know how. I haven't been given the support. I wasn't trained for this. So, you know, what do I do? I didn't even create this content. What, you know, where did this come from? I have to redo it. And so it's just all these questions and it can be, you know, a challenge if there's not that support with it.
