Blackboard Ally Resources
Blackboard Ally works within BeachBoard to identify accessibility issues and provide guidance to instructors on remediation of course materials. The primary features of Ally include:
"Accessibility Indicators" are color-coded dials visible to instructors only which serve as a quick visual reference to accessibility issues in course content.
Select the indicator icon to open the Feedback Panel (see below) for tips on improving the accessibility of specific content items.
Use Ally's on-screen tips to fix specific issues and make overall improvements to course accessibility--all within BeachBoard.
Allyautomatically generates alternative formats of course materials (without affecting originals) such as mp3 audio, electronic braille, HTML, ePub, and optical character recognition PDF.
Students can then download the file format appropriate to their environment, learning needs, or devices:
