Blackboard Ally for Learn: Make all Digital Course Content More Accessible

Presenter:

Dr. Lisa Andion, Solutions Engineer, Blackboard Inc

Abstract:

Over 500 schools have now implemented the Blackboard Ally for Learn to improve the accessibility of their LMS content. The alternative formats along with the instructor guidance helps to deliver an inclusive experience for each learner. Ally for Learn provides the following:
• Alternative accessible formats for everyone, students and visitors – regardless of their accessibility needs – can benefit from increased variety and availability of your digital content.
• Feedback around the accessibility of the online content to provide useful guidance and recommendations essential to creating an inclusive environment.
• Insight through institutional and course level reporting to help understand how your institution is doing and where potential problem areas exist.

At this session, Blackboard will demonstrate the latest available capabilities of the ALLY for Learn.
