Blackboard Ally helps build a more inclusive learning environment and improve the student experience by helping instructors take clear control of course content with usability, accessibility and quality in mind. Make course materials accessible to all students and continue to provide accommodations for specific students identified by Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC). Depending on the accommodation needed, you may be able to provide the accommodation using the Blackboard Ally tool, which provides Alternative Formats (audio, Braille, ePub, HTML, etc) of your course materials. Instructor Feedback can also provide the instructor with guidance to meet accessibility standards.
Contact Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC) about a specific accommodation need.
