Blackboard Ally - Fix Your Content Day

May 21st, 2020 marks the annual Global Accessibility Awareness Day and as part of our campus-wide commitment to inclusive education, we participated in the first ever Blackboard Ally “Fix your Content Day.” 

Due to timezones, we had ~36 hours to fix as many accessibility issues with course files as we can.  At the end of the day, the campus with the most files fixed is recognized and awarded a prize.

How can you help?

• Start clicking those red and orange indicators in your courses and fix as many files as you can.
• Focus on images that need a description and Word documents to start. They're easy to fix and can make a dramatic change on your accessibility score.
• Aim for 100% but improvement is what counts!

The Ally Team will track fixes in real-time, and you can check your fixes through the usage report in your Ally Institutional Report. Remember, fixes can only be tracked if they happen through Ally directly. Replacing a file through the LMS can’t be reliably tracked and therefore won’t count in your total fixes.
