About Ally and Accessibility

Accessibility ensures that everyone—regardless of ability—can access and engage with digital content. By making content more accessible, organizations support inclusive experiences, meet legal and ethical standards, and improve outcomes for all users.

Ally is an accessibility tool that helps improve the usability and inclusiveness of digital content. It automatically checks files and pages for accessibility issues and provides alternative formats to support a wide range of user needs and preferences.

Students benefit from alternative formats that suit their learning preferences, while instructors receive guidance on how to improve the accessibility of their course materials.

When content is added to a platform, Ally scans it for accessibility issues and generates alternative formats such as audio, ePub, electronic braille, and translated versions. Users can choose the format that best suits their needs. At the same time, content creators receive feedback through an accessibility indicator and panel, which provides guidance on how to improve the original content. Administrators can view reports that track accessibility progress and identify areas for improvement across the organization.
