According to the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability, approximately 27% of Canadians have one or more disabilities (Statistics Canada, 2024). This research project identifies barriers instructors experience when creating accessible learning materials for students in higher education. The study consists of two parts: first, a literature review exploring the challenges that limit an instructor’s ability to create accessible resources, and second, a document analysis of six online courses that provide a snapshot of the accessibility landscape at the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC).
