Ally Accessibility Report for modules

As well as generating accessible versions of your learning and teaching materials to suit diverse learning needs, Ally can provide you with Module Level Accessibility Reports. The Blackboard Ally Course Accessibility Report provides an accessibility summary and a high level overview at the course level.

Ally also provides a module level Accessibility Report which aggregates accessibility reports from specific documents in the module area, into one general report. 

This report includes:

• an overall accessibility score for a course

• a section containing content with easy issues to fix

• a section containing content that is the lowest-scoring

• content organised into categories based on their accessibility issues

To find the module level Accessibility Report:

1. In the module's Details & Actions menu, select the Books & Tools link.
