IT Professionals,
This email is to inform you about the upcoming implementation of Anthology Ally, an accessibility checker that integrates with Canvas.
On December 20, Anthology Ally will be turned on for all Canvas courses. This will result in minor changes to the Canvas interface for faculty, staff, and students:
- Instructors will notice the following on their Canvas courses:
- Accessibility Indicators will be visible on certain content in Canvas
- Ally will be available in the Rich Content Editor
- The Ally Course Accessibility Report will be available to add to a course’s left hand navigation menu
- Students will notice there is an Alternative Format download button present on some content types
The Assistive Technology and Accessibility Center (ATAC) previously held an infoshare on Anthology Ally and the recording is available for review for any who were unable to attend.
If you have any questions, please email ATAC at atac@iu.edu.
