 ABSTRACT

The digital world we live in, and the COVID-19 pandemic, has seen a proliferation of digital spaces adopted in the higher education sector. However, not all digital spaces are created equally. This chapter aims to:

- Explore the current state and extent to which universities are resourced to make their digital spaces accessible and inclusive.

- Analyse both qualitative data and strategic documents provided by Universitas 21 (U21) Universities, including adherence to accessibility guidelines.

- Identify gaps and provide recommendations for maximising digital accessibility in the higher education sector.
