Instructor Feedback for WYSIWYG content
We're excited to announce that Ally now supports Instructor Feedback for WYSIWYG content!
In this first release of Instructor Feedback for WYSIWYG content, we're expanding Ally's scanning and feedback to now include support for content created in the course using your LMS content editor (WYSIWYG content).
In addition to the feedback and guidance you're familiar with for other content/document types - we've added some new features that make it quicker and easier than ever to improve the accessibility of your course content including:
Live scoring and flagging of accessibility issues as content is created and edited
Automatic suggestions and batch remediation to more quickly fix issues at scale
This feature is now available for Blackboard Learn Ultra, Blackboard Learn Original, Instructure Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Moodle/OpenLMS, and Moodle with Atto Editor. This feature is targeted to be introduced in a future release for Schoology.
This feature is disabled by default. To enable Instructor Feedback for WYSIWYG content administrators can navigate to the Ally Configuration UI and go to the Features tab.
In future releases we'll be improving the visibility of the score indicator in view mode, introducing support for other tools in the LMS, and more deeply integrating into the course and institutional reporting capabilities.
A special thank you goes out to our user group and community of beta testers that provided feedback during the development of these features - thank you!
