Accessibility in Blackboard Ultra

Blackboard Ally Resource Definition
Accessibility Scores Ally assigns your content an accessibility score. Each score is composed of both a numerical number and a colored gauge that reflects the number.
Course Accessibility Report The course accessibility report acts as a complement to the existing accessibility indicators. It provides an accessibility summary and overview at the course level.
WYSIWYG Accessibility  As you create content in the Blackboard textbox the Ally score updates in real-time. Select the score to learn more about the issues and follow step-by-step guidance on how to fix them.
View File Accessibility In lessons with multiple files, the accessibility score is shown for each file. In areas where you access files, the accessibility icon is located to the right or left of the file.
Improve Content Accessibility Once you have located the accessibility score for a piece of content, you can begin to explore accessibility issues and improve the content to raise the score.
