This paper is an overview of a study that examines the integration of Learning Management Systems (LMS) to enhance accessibility in higher education, utilizing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and the Social Model of Disability frameworks. The primary objective is to assess the current state of LMS accessibility and its impact on equity in learning opportunities within U.S. higher education institutions. Preliminary findings show significant variability in accessibility practices, influenced by institutional resources, faculty training, and administrative support.
Despite legal mandates, gaps in meeting accessibility standards persist, leading to unequal learning opportunities for students with disabilities. The complete results, presented at the SIGUCCS 2025 conference, offer recommendations for enhancing accessibility and inclusivity in higher education. This study aims to promote proactive and universally designed educational practices, contributing to more equitable academic environments.
