Ally

Canvas Ally works seamlessly with our Canvas LMS to gauge the accessibility of your content. Ally provides guidance and tips for lasting improvements to your content accessibility.

• Receive feedback on the accessibility of your content
• Improve content accessibility with Ally’s step-by-step instructions

In addition to providing you with insight to your content accessibility, Ally automatically creates alternative versions of your files. This allows students to choose the type of file they want that best suits their needs. While you’re in the process of improving files, students still access alternative copies.
