Blackboard Ally works seamlessly with Blackboard Learn to gauge the accessibility of your content. Ally provides guidance and tips for lasting improvements to your content accessibility. Ally helps you receive feedback on the accessibility score of your content and gives instructor feedback on how to improve content accessibility with Ally's step-by-step instructions. In addition to providing you with insight into 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 can still access alternative copies. Providing them with more accessible original content means they can choose formats that work best for them.
