Make Your Course Content Accessible (Blackboard)

[Faculty] Accessibility indicators will appear on any document uploaded across Blackboard. The indicators will denote how accessible the corresponding document is.

Ally measures accessibility for your new and existing course content by assigning your content an accessibility score. Each score is composed of both a number and a colored gauge that reflects the number.
