Ally Support

Blackboard Ally is a tool that seamlessly integrates with your course to gauge the accessibility of your course content. With Blackboard Ally, you can:

  • Gain an understanding of your course's accessibility performance
  • Generate alternative accessible versions of content 
  • View accessibility trends and detailed graphs to monitor improvement

Ally provides scores to measure the accessibility of content. Accessibility scores are determined by the severity of issues in each digital file. Once instructors locate the accessibility score for a piece of content, they can begin to explore accessibility issues and improve the content to raise the score. Accessible content is important for all audiences, and Ally gives your course the tools to understand common issues and improve content.
