The Teaching and Learning Academy is pleased to introduce Ally, a revolutionary tool designed to take accessibility to new heights in your Canvas courses. Students will have access to alternative formats making Canvas even more accessible to your diverse learning needs. Your academic journey is about to become more dynamic – mark your calendars for an eagerly awaited milestone – on the 28th of March alternative formats will become available in your Canvas course.
Ally will ensure your content works on mobile phones and tablets but will also cater to users with assistive technologies, ensuring an inclusive learning environment for everyone.
Ally will also help staff improve accessibility for all course content in Canvas. It goes beyond the ordinary by providing guidance on how you can fix accessibility issues.
Ally will:
- Identify accessibility issues
