KB1028 - Checking course accessibility using Blackboard A11y

Integrated into VCC Moodle, Blackboard A11y focuses on making online course content more accessible.

A11y provides two main functions:

1. Providing alternative accessible formats for students: A11y 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.
2. Highlighting accessibility issues in course content: A11y provides feedback about the accessibility of course materials and gives guidance on how to fix any identified issues.
