Accessible Course Materials Without the Accessibility Expertise

Empower every faculty member to create, manage, and publish fully accessible PDFs and web content—no specialized training required. Meet OCR compliance deadlines while keeping pace with semester demands.

COMPLETE ACCESSIBILITY SOLUTION

Transform How Your Institution Delivers Accessible Content

Higher education faces a unique accessibility challenge: high document volume, constant faculty turnover, and inflexible semester deadlines. ClarityPDF provides a unified platform where any faculty or staff member can create, edit, and publish accessible PDFs and web content without remediation expertise. Integrate seamlessly with Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle while maintaining OCR compliance across your entire content library.

The Higher Education Accessibility Challenge

Volume, Turnover, and Deadlines Create the Perfect Storm

Universities face accessibility demands unlike any other sector. Thousands of course documents require updates each semester. Faculty turnover means institutional knowledge walks out the door. And academic calendars create immovable deadlines that remediation backlogs simply cannot accommodate.

Traditional approaches force institutions into an impossible choice: hire expensive accessibility specialists who cannot scale to meet demand, or burden faculty with complex remediation tools that pull them away from teaching. Neither approach works. Accessibility offices become bottlenecks. Faculty become frustrated. Students wait for materials they need today.

ClarityPDF eliminates this challenge entirely. When accessibility is built into the content creation process—not bolted on afterward—volume becomes manageable, turnover becomes irrelevant, and deadlines become achievable. Any faculty member can produce fully compliant materials on their first day, using the same intuitive workflow they will use on their thousandth.

Every Faculty Member Becomes an Accessibility Expert

No Training Required

The traditional accessibility model requires specialized knowledge that most faculty simply do not have time to acquire. Understanding tag structures, reading order, alt text requirements, and PDF/UA specifications demands training that competes with research, teaching, and service obligations.

ClarityPDF inverts this model completely. Accessibility expertise is embedded in the platform itself. Faculty interact with familiar content creation tools—adding text, inserting images, building tables—while ClarityPDF handles the technical accessibility requirements automatically. Proper heading structures, logical reading order, compliant table markup, and appropriate alternative text prompts are built into every workflow.

The result: a new adjunct instructor can produce WCAG 2.2 AA compliant course materials on day one. A tenured professor can update a twenty-year-old syllabus in minutes rather than hours. Your disability services office shifts from document remediation to strategic accessibility planning. Everyone focuses on what they do best.

Accessible Content That Students Can Actually Use

Student Success

Accessibility compliance means nothing if students cannot effectively engage with course materials. ClarityPDF produces documents that work seamlessly with the assistive technologies students actually use—screen readers, magnification software, text-to-speech tools, and refreshable braille displays.

Beyond compliance, ClarityPDF enables truly interactive student experiences. Course materials become searchable knowledge bases where students can find exactly what they need. Complex documents transform into navigable resources with working tables of contents, functional hyperlinks, and logical content organization.

Students with disabilities receive materials on the same timeline as their peers—not days or weeks later after remediation queues clear. This equal access timeline transforms academic outcomes. Students engage with readings before class discussions. Exam preparation materials arrive when students need them. The accessibility accommodation process becomes invisible because accessible content is simply the default.

Transform Your Document Backlog

Bring Years of Course Materials into Compliance

Every institution carries a backlog. Syllabi accumulated over decades. Course packets passed between faculty generations. Departmental resources no one remembers creating. Scanned documents that exist only as inaccessible images. This legacy content represents both a compliance liability and a barrier to student success.

ClarityPDF’s Parse capability transforms this backlog into accessible, editable content. Import existing PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and even scanned materials. The platform extracts content and rebuilds it within an accessible framework, ready for review, editing, and publication.

This transformation is not merely technical remediation—it is content liberation. Documents trapped in outdated formats become living resources. Content locked in departmental silos becomes searchable institutional knowledge. Faculty can update materials they previously could not edit. Your accessibility investment creates value beyond compliance.

Accessible WordPress and Drupal Content from One Platform

Course materials represent only part of your accessibility obligation. Department websites, program pages, faculty directories, event announcements, and countless other web properties must also meet accessibility standards. Most institutions manage this content through WordPress or Drupal—platforms that can produce accessible content but rarely do without significant expertise.

ClarityPDF extends accessibility assurance to your entire web presence. Create content once in ClarityPDF and publish simultaneously to accessible PDFs and compliant web formats. The same intuitive interface that empowers faculty to create accessible course materials enables communications staff to publish accessible news articles, event coordinators to post accessible program information, and department administrators to maintain accessible resource pages.

This unified approach eliminates the accessibility gap between your course materials and your public web presence. Students, prospective students, parents, and community members all encounter the same standard of accessible content regardless of where they interact with your institution.
