Colleges are accelerating immersive learning pilots powered by AI and virtual reality while also preparing for the Department of Justice’s new Title II digital accessibility requirements that take effect in 2026. The Joseph M. Bryan School at UNC Greensboro deployed an immersive AI/VR environment—backed by a $1 million grant—to build job‑ready skills; administrators say the tools can close skills gaps in experiential learning. At the same time, institutions must meet an April 2026 compliance timeline under Title II ADA guidance, with expectations tied to WCAG 2.1 standards for digital content. Campus accessibility officers are warning that superficial, mass remediations risk legal exposure; higher‑ed IT leaders are being urged to build systemic processes—trained staff, accessible workflows and vendor oversight—to meet the new requirements while scaling AI pilots responsibly.
