Ally Accessibility Tool
Are you a student or instructor that needs assistance?
Ally checks course content for accessibility issues and generates accessible alternatives. Ally also guides instructors on how to improve the accessibility of their course content.
Course content accessibility
Students may submit a course content accessibility alert to the accessibility team regarding any Canvas course content that has accessibility concerns. The accessibility team will then notify the individual(s) who manage the course content to implement a timely solution.
