Stay Ahead of Compliance Changes

With new ADA Title II rulings and WCAG standards coming into effect in 2026, institutions are under pressure to ensure their digital content meets accessibility guidelines. Brightspace Archiving helps you focus remediation efforts on active courses by moving non-compliant or legacy content into a dedicated archive.

  • A faster path to meeting accessibility standards

  • Reduced scope of remediation work

  • Lower risk of non-compliance
