Ally for Faculty

Ally automatically scans Canvas course content and performs a series of steps to make them more accessible. Students can download alternate versions of the content.

When you upload files to your Canvas course, Ally automatically creates alternative formats of your course files for you—you do not need to do anything. These alternative formats are based on the original source file and made available along with the original file. Ally will also suggest improvements to make your content even more accessible.

Please note: The automatically-generated alternative formats created by Ally are more accessible versions of the original course file. It is critically important that your source file be as accessible as possible to ensure the alternative formats are as equally effective.
