Blackboard Ally for Instructors

Summary

How to use Blackboard's Ally feature to improve the accessibility of your course content.

Body

Blackboard Ally works seamlessly with Blackboard to gauge the accessibility of your content. Ally provides guidance and tips for lasting improvements to your content accessibility.

  • Receive feedback on the accessibility of your content
  • Improve content accessibility with Ally's step-by-step instructions

In addition to providing you with insight to your content accessibility, Ally automatically creates alternative versions of your files. This allows students to choose the type of file they want that best suits their needs. While you're in the process of improving files, students still access alternative copies.

For more information, visit the TTaDA website or view the Ally Quick Start for Instructors guide.
