Integrated into VCC Moodle, Blackboard Ally focuses on making online course content more accessible.
Ally provides two main functions:
- Providing alternative accessible formats for students: Ally will generate a range of more accessible alternatives and will make these available to all students in the course. These alternative accessible formats include Semantic HTML, audio, ePub, and electronic braille.
- Highlighting accessibility issues in course content: Ally provides feedback about the accessibility of course materials and gives guidance on how to fix any identified issues.
