Description
Fix Your Content Day is designed to create more accessible and inclusive digital learning content in your Blackboard courses using Ally. The goal for October 3rd is simple: Make a positive impact on inclusive learning for your students!
How can you help? Log into your Blackboard course and access your course’s Ally Accessibility Report from the Books & Course Tools menu. Then, fix as many content items as you can. Focus on images that need a description and documents that need proper styles and headers.
For more information on how to fix files through Ally, check out these resources:
