Mumbai, July 2025—Here’s something worth celebrating: Hurix Digital just wrapped up a massive accessibility project that’s changing the lives of over 100,000 students at a major US community college. We’re talking about real impact here. Students who were unable to fully attend online classes previously are now able to access the same capabilities that their peers do.
The numbers tell the story: over 100,000 students, countless course materials, videos, quizzes, and discussion boards. The entire digital campus needed an overhaul. The college’s leadership knew they had a problem. Sure, there were legal requirements like the ADA and WCAG guidelines to think about. But this went deeper. How could they claim to serve their community if thousands of students faced barriers just trying to learn?
The challenge was huge. Every single piece of their digital infrastructure needed work. They needed a partner who understood education, technology, and accessibility inside and out. That’s when they turned to Hurix Digital.
What Hurix brought to the table was more than just tech wizardry. They didn’t stop at quick fixes. Instead, they rolled out a whole lineup of upgrades: screen readers that talk students through the content, alt text that brings images to life for those who can’t see them, keyboard controls for anyone who can’t use a mouse, captions to make videos accessible, and sharper color contrasts so everything’s easier on the eyes.
And what is the outcome? More than 100,000 students today are reading their books in depth using tools that are working in their favor. The classrooms (at least, virtual ones) are more friendly. The formerly struggling students are now succeeding. Teachers have noticed it too: more participation, happier faces, and a system that’s not just compliant but ahead of the curve.
Gokulnath Balasubramanian, Vice President – Content Transformation, Hurix Digital, can’t help but beam about it. “Education isn’t something you gatekeep. It’s for everyone. And to make that happen for over 100,000 students? That’s the kind of thing that gets us out of bed in the morning. Knowing they can learn without barriers is what drives us.”
The college leadership was equally enthusiastic. A senior administrator shared: “Hurix has made our online classrooms much fairer by adding smart accessibility features. Now every student can jump into the same lessons and tools, and that really boosts how much they understand and enjoy learning.”
This wasn’t a solo act. For this accessibility project, Hurix Digital collaborated with the college IT personnel, professors, and others. They did not merely deliver a shiny new system and then vacate; they hung around, training personnel up well and ensuring they all became accustomed to using it. That’s the Hurix way: big ideas, grounded in real-world results.
