D2L Brightspace Accessibility Bundle Helping to Make Learning More Inclusive
The D2L Accessibility Bundle combines a powerful text-to-speech reader and a market-leading artificial intelligence-powered accessibility checker to help educators create and deliver highly accessible learning experiences. The Bundle brings together two strategic partners, ReadSpeaker and YuJa Panorama Digital Accessibility Platform, into one package offering. Together, they can help support content that is highly accessible from the ground up and can be offered in multiple reading modalities, providing a comprehensive approach to accessibility in education.
"At D2L, we believe that every mind is valuable, and that we can help enable learners to exceed their potential. We provide innovative platform capabilities within Brightspace that can enhance our support for highly accessible content and inclusive delivery by partnering with ReadSpeaker and YuJa. Together, we're offering a powerful, AI-enabled, human-centered education ecosystem," said Dr. Sambhavi Chandrashekar, Global Accessibility Lead at D2L. "For us, accessibility is a journey and not a destination, and I'm excited about future possibilities for transforming the way the world learns."
"We at ReadSpeaker are delighted to partner with D2L. By integrating our advanced text-to-speech solutions with D2L's innovative learning platform, we aim to enhance the educational experience for all users.

Together, we are committed to promoting inclusivity and improving learning outcomes. We look forward to continuing our work with D2L, helping educators and institutions provide a richer, more supportive learning environment for every learner," said
