How to make Module Content more Accessible

Alternative Formats

Ally automatically checks for accessibility issues and generates alternative accessible formats based on the original. These formats are made available with the original content, allowing students to find everything in one convenient location.

Select the Download Alternative Formats button, wherever available, to display the different formats and toggle them on or off.

Accessibility Score Indicators

Ally measures the accessibility of each file attached to your course and displays its score, which ranges from Low to Perfect. The higher the score, the fewer the issues.

Scores range from Low to Perfect. The higher the score, the fewer the issues..

	Low (0-33%): Needs help! There are severe accessibility issues.
	Medium (34-66%): A little better. The file is somewhat accessible and needs improvement.
	High (67-99%): Almost there. The file is accessible, but more improvements are possible.
	Perfect (100%): Perfect! Ally didn't identify any accessibility issues, but further improvements may still be possible.

For files with Low to High scores, Ally shows you the issues and gives a step-by-step guide on how to fix them.
