Using Blackboard Ally to view alternative accessible formats of content

Blackboard Ally is a content accessibility service licensed directly from Blackboard. It generates alternative accessible formats for files in the course content. In addition to the original format, Blackboard Ally provides the following alternative formats:

• Tagged PDF (for mobile)
• HTML
• ePUB
• Electronic Braille
• Audio

Note: If there is metadata or embedded security in a document, you are unable to create alternative accessible formats.

To view an alternative accessible format in a course module:

1. Click to select a document from a course module.
2. Click Alternative formats.
3. Select an alternative format from the available list.
