Ally institutional report
Anthology Ally provides administrators with an institution-wide course content accessibility report that allows for deep insight and understanding into how the institution is performing and evolving from a course content accessibility point of view. This report helps track progress and can help highlight problem areas and identify initiatives that can further help improve accessibility at the institution.
You can find the Ally institution report on the administrator panel. Under Tools and Utilities, select Ally Report.

Accessibility scores
Ally provides scores to measure the accessibility of content. Accessibility scores are determined by the severity of issues in each digital file.
Once instructors locate the accessibility score for a piece of content, they can begin to explore accessibility issues and improve the content to raise the score. Accessible content is important for all audiences, and Ally gives your institution the tools to understand common issues and improve content.
Improve accessibility scores
Ally provides you detailed feedback and support to help you become an accessibility pro. Learn about accessibility issues, why they matter, and how to fix them. Green is the goal!
Go to the institutional report in the Administrator Panel. From the Accessibility issues table, find a specific content item in a course with an accessibility issue. Select the content item's accessibility score indicator to open the feedback panel.
This feature is disabled by default. Submit a request on Behind The Blackboard to have it turned on. This feature is only available when accessing the institutional report from the LMS and not when using the direct access URL.
Eiconau Sgôr Hygyrchedd Ally
Mae sgoriau yn amrywio o Isel i Perffaith. Po uchaf y sgôr po leiaf y problemau.
- Isel (0-33%): Angen Help? Mae problemau hygyrchedd difrifol.
- Canolig (34-66%): Ychydig yn well. Mae'r ffeil rhywfaint yn hygyrch ac mae angen gwella.
- Uchel (67-99%): Bron yno. Mae'r ffeil ar gael ond mae rhagor o welliannau yn bosibl.
- Perffaith (100%): Perffaith! Ni nododd Ally unrhyw broblemau hygyrchedd ond efallai y bydd gwelliannau pellach yn bosibl o hyd.

Go to a course and open the menu beside a file. Select Alternative formats to see the different formats available and to disable them.
FAQs
Cwestiynau Cyffredin Bb Learn Gweinyddwr Ally
Pa fersiynau o Blackboard Learn sy’n cefnogi Ally?
Mae Blackboard Ally yn cael ei gefnogi ar Learn 9.1 Q2 2017 CU3 ac yn uwch. Mae hefyd ar gael ar gyfer Learn SaaS yng ngweddau cwrs Original ac Ultra.
Ni chefnogir sefydliadau Solaris sy'n hunan-letya.
A allwch chi sgorio cynnwys yng Nghasgliad Cynnwys Blackboard Learn cyn y caiff y cynnwys ei gymhwyso i gwrs?
Mae Ally yn sgorio’r cynnwys a ddefnyddir mewn cwrs yn unig. Gall cynnwys nas defnyddiwyd ogwyddo'r Adroddiad Sefydliadol ac nid yw wedi'i gynnwys.
Gallwch uwchlwytho cynnwys i ffolder gudd mewn cwrs, os yw hyfforddwyr eisiau gwneud diweddariadau hygyrchedd cyn ei wneud ar gael.
A yw Ally yn sganio pob cynnwys yn y Casgliad o Gynnwys?
Mae Ally ond yn sganio eitemau sydd wedi'u hatodi yn y cwrs ei hun ar hyn o bryd. Mae hyn yn golygu mai dim ond eitemau sydd ar gael i fyfyrwyr caiff eu cynnwys yn yr adroddiadau. Nid yw hyn yn cynnwys cynnwys nas defnyddiwyd.
Pam nad ydwyf yn gweld Ffurfweddu Ally yn fy mhanel Gweinyddu?
Mae angen cael Blackboard Learn SaaS 3700.3.0 neu Blackboard Learn Q4 2019 (neu’n uwch) i weld Ffurfweddu Ally yn y panel Gweinyddu.
Os ydych yn defnyddio'r rhyddhad cywir, nid yw Blackboard Learn yn sylwi ar y ddolen newydd hon yn awtomatig wrth uwchraddio i'r rhyddhad hwn. Os yw hyn yn wir, gallwch doglo argaeledd y Bloc Adeiladu Ally i I Ffwrdd ac wedyn i Ymlaen eto. Wedi hynny, bydd y ddolen Ffurfweddu Ally ar gael.
Os ydych yn defnyddio rhyddhad cynharach, byddwn yn darparu cyfarwyddiadau i chi ar sut i gyrchu Ffurfweddu Ally yn ystod y broses o osod.
Os nad oes gennych fynediad o hyd, cyflwynwch gais ar Behind the Blackboard.
Ultra Accessibility Checker (Powered by Ally)
The Ultra Accessibility Checker (Powered by Ally) is a built-in feature of Blackboard Learn Ultra. The Ultra Accessibility Checker scans content in the rich content editor of Ultra Documents. The feature identifies and improves accessibility issues in Ultra Documents by leveraging the power of Ally’s WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) checking and feedback functionality.
If your institution does not have an Ally license. The Ultra Accessibility Checker Powered by Ally will be on by default. Ally WYSIWYG content is focused within the rich content editor of Ultra Documents only and does not represent a full Ally license.
If your institution has an active Ally license. The Ultra Accessibility Checker Powered by Ally is a new configuration and is off by default. You don't need to turn this setting on. If you turn on this setting, your Ally Service Availability will turn off. To avoid issues, we recommend not turning on Ultra Accessibility Checker Powered by Ally as it is not required for your active Ally license to work.
