FAQs
What does the instructor need to do to generate alternative formats for a content item?
Nothing. Ally automatically picks up on any existing or new materials, runs it through the accessibility checklist, and makes the alternative formats available to both the student and the instructor.
What threshold is used for the color of the accessibility indicator?
An accessibility score is provided with every document which is a percentage score that reflects how accessible the item is. Accessibility is a spectrum where further improvements are always possible. However, once an item is in the green zone it should be doing reasonably well.
