What is Anthology Ally?
Formerly called Blackboard Ally, Ally is a tool that allows teaching staff to check their unit materials against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards and provides guidance on how to improve the accessibility of the course content. It also allows instructors and students to create alternative formats that work for their different devices and learning needs.
Immersive Reader
With the new Immersive Reader integration, students can select document text preferences and convert text-to-speech without the need to download alternative format files. Users can also highlight some Grammar Options such as verbs, nouns, adjectives, and sub-clauses within the document.
