2.2 Resources for Creating Accessible Courses and Documents

In this section, you will learn about Ally. Ally is a Moodle plugin system that identifies and helps make course documents and images more accessible. In our classes, we have a variety of students with varying learning abilities. Ally can provide alternative content in a variety of formats. When you have a document that is fairly accessible Ally can provide the following alternatives; a tagged PDF, an HTML version, audio versions, and even electronic braille. If you have documents that are not accessible, Ally explains why and gives you tips on how to fix them. In some cases, you can make changes directly through Ally. Ally is available now in our Moodle courses. The ATC and ID Services are here to help you learn how to use it.
