Blackboard Ally

Overview

Blackboard Ally helps institutions build a more inclusive learning environment and improve the student experience by helping them take clear control of course content with usability, accessibility and quality in mind.

Blackboard Ally will automatically run all course materials through an accessibility checklist that checks for common accessibility issues. Using advanced Machine Learning algorithms, Ally will also generate a range of more accessible alternatives for the instructor’s original file and will make these available to all students in the course. These alternative accessible formats include Semantic HTML, audio, ePub, and electronic braille. Example of what this would look like when choosing a different accessible formats
