Accessibility Tools Overview

To help faculty learn how to make their course materials more accessible to students, we have created a short video covering the accessibility tools available in Blackboard, Kaltura, and Microsoft Office.

Blackboard Accessibility

Ally is a separate product integrated within Blackboard with the purpose of checking course materials to ensure they meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Ally is available for Original and Ultra courses.

Kaltura Accessibility

Kaltura Capture uses Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) captioning, which produces a text file that is then associated with media (video or audio) in Kaltura Capture.

Microsoft Office Accessibility

The Accessibility Assistant can be used to identify issues with document accessibility.
