In the Course Content page you can Create a collaborative document by embedding files from Office365. Collaborative documents provide an opportunity for students to work together on one file which the instructors has created and embedded from Microsoft OneDrive.
Adding new content to Course Content area
Within the Course Content window, hover your mouse where you wish to add the new collaborative document and select the (purple) + icon. Select +Create
From the Create Item menu, select Embedded Cloud Document.
Checking content accessibility
When you add or create new content, use Student Preview to see how it appears to your student. Check your documents and other files using the built in Ally (Ultra Accessibility Checker).
Each time you create or add new content, use Ally to ensure your content is as accessible as possible, ensuring inclusivity and meaningful engagement for all learners.
Ally scans resources and provides advice on how to increase the accessibility of documents. It offers explanations about potential issues and offers quick fixes to address them, making your content more accessible.
The Ally accessibility indicator (or score) appears to the right of each content item. The score displays as a dial in different colours ranging from red (low 0%-30%) through to green (perfect 100%).
The Ally accessibility indicator takes some time to appear after you upload or create content.
To open instructor feedback, select the Accessibility indicator. Follow the steps in front of you to go step-by-step. Select All issues to see every issue in the file and decide what issues to fix first. Once fixed the document can be easily replaced within the VLE.
Detailed information about Ally can be found in the Blackboard Ally support pages.
