Students Getting Started
Ally convert bCourses files into BeeLine Reader, Electronic Braille, EPUB, HTML, Immersive Reader, MP3 (audio), PDF, and foreign language translations. Students can generate these file types without instructor assistance. Besides helping students with disabilities, these alternative formats can help English language learners and students with diverse learning preferences (mobile, audio, larger font sizes, etc.).
Instructors Getting Started
Ally integrates into bCourses wherever uploaded files appear and within Pages. It provides visual indicators next to the uploaded course documents so instructors can see accessibility scores and learn how to create more accessible source files. When instructors select an Ally score, additional information regarding the accessibility of the correlating document is provided. This additional information includes advice on how to improve the document's accessibility score. Instructors can also review and remediate bCourses Page content using the WYSIWYG Instructor Feedback Tool.
