What is Anthology Ally?
Anthology Ally works seamlessly with Brightspace to gauge the accessibility of your course content. Ally provides guidance and tips for lasting improvements to your content accessibility.
- Receive feedback on the accessibility of your content.
- Improve content accessibility with Ally's step-by-step instructions.
In addition to providing you with insight to your content accessibility, Ally automatically creates alternative versions of your files. This allows students to choose the type of file they want that best suits their needs. While you're in the process of improving files, students still access alternative copies.
How to access your Ally Course Report:
When uploading files to your course, it is important to periodically check what is called your Ally Report, which shows you the accessibility score for your course. This score visualizes how accessible your course is to learners.
- 1. Navigate to the course in which you would like to run the Ally report.
- 2. Select the Tools drop-down from the ribbon and select Ally Report at the bottom.
- 3. Here, you can view your course's Ally accessibility report, with a general overview of your course’s accessibility score in the top left corner.
Why should Ally be used?
Anthology Ally provides you with a report to help make your course more accessible to a wide array of learners. This also helps your course remain inclusive to learners. Additionally, Ally also helps you understand why an item was flagged for low accessibility and how you can edit it to make the document more accessible.
