🎉 The Teaching and Learning Academy is pleased to announce the launch of Ally, a powerful accessibility tool now integrated with Canvas. Ally is designed to help you identify and resolve accessibility issues in your Canvas digital content.Â
We encourage you to engage with Ally’s course report and prioritise any issues highlighted, with particular focus on:
- Resolving the most Severe Issues first
- Reviewing any contrast issues in documents and pages
- Fixing any Image Alt Text in documents and pages
- Ensuring documents and pages use correct headings
While Ally may identify various accessibility concerns, focusing on these key areas will have a significant impact on the overall accessibility of your course content. Ally will recommend different actions to resolve these issues. We understand that achieving full accessibility compliance is an ongoing process – so we encourage you to start by tackling the most critical issues and continue refining your course content over time.
We have more information about Ally and our initiatives to create an accessible learning environment.
Thank you for your commitment to accessibility in your Canvas course.
