Ally
What is Ally?
Ally is a tool integrated with Blackboard that helps improve the accessibility of documents, images, text, and tables. Ally automatically provides students with downloadable alternative document formats for easier reading. Faculty can also use Ally's Accessibility Scores to make improvements to course content. As of November 4th, 2022, Ally will be available in all current semester course shells going forward. If you have any questions about Ally, contact onlinelearning@matc.edu

How Students Access Ally
When students view courses in Blackboard, students can click on the Ally symbol wherever text, image, link, and file content is present to access their choice of alternative document format, such as speech-to-text MP3 audio, machine translated language, electronic braille, beeline reader, and immersive reader. See the following links and embedded video for details.
