For this Spring 2026 Faculty Showcase on Accessibility and AI, Crystal Velasco, USC Office of Student Accessibility Services, along with Jason Dove and Sakib Shariar from the USC Brightspace Team, explore how AI technology intersects with student accommodations, highlighting how tools like speech-to-text, captioning, screen readers, and note-taking tools are already part of many students’ learning. They also demonstrate how Brightspace’s Panorama tool supports accessible course design by identifying barriers, flagging issues, and generating alternative formats that help ensure course materials work effectively with assistive technologies.
