What is Ally?
Ally is a tool that assists with improving accessibility in courses especially for course materials. Ally is turned on in all Spring courses and allows your students to download alternative formats of any course documents (e.g. searchable .pdf, mp3, electronic braille, HTML, ePub, etc.).
Additionally, Ally provides feedback for each file in your course with a step-by-step guide to improving accessibility.
