Information Technology: Blackboard Ally Is Now Live in All Blackboard Course Sites

What is Blackboard Ally? Ally is a tool, embedded in Blackboard Learn, designed to make digital course content more accessible to all students.

Alternative formats include OCRed PDF, HTML, ePub (for e-book devices and apps), electronic braille, audio (MP3), and machine translation. The Ally tool also assists faculty members in identifying and correcting accessibility issues within their own course content.

A detailed message has been sent to all deans, chairs, and directors of student support services. Messaging to students began April 17. Please review the IT Knowledge Base article about Blackboard Ally, and sign up for training via the Workshop Registration System.

Watch how students can choose alternative content delivery in this generic Blackboard Ally video.
