Institutional report improvements

Several improvements have been added to the institutional report CSV exports.

Library references provided through the Ally instructor feedback for scanned and untagged PDFs are now included in a Library reference column in the course CSV export for individual courses. This is intended to make it easier to review library references provided by instructors.

The new Library reference column is not the same as LibraryReference, which counts the number of items that don't have references and could be improved with them.

The severity level for each reported issue is now also included as part of the CSV exports. This makes it easier to parse the severity of each issue in an automated way.

The severity level is included in the column headings. For example, ImageSeizure:1 and AlternativeText:3.

  • 1 represents severe issues
  • 2 represents major issues
  • 3 represents minor issues

Bug fixes and improvements

  • Fixed a bug in the Moodle(rooms) integration that would cause unexpected items from being included in the institutional report, including Moodle skin resources and assignment feedback resources. We are also in the process of removing these resources from the existing institutional reports.
  • Fixed a bug in the Moodle(rooms) integration that prevented image previews from showing in the instructor feedback for images.
  • Implemented several accuracy improvements to the contrast accessibility checks for HTML content.
  • Fixed a bug that incorrectly reported “The page contains form elements without labels” errors for HTML content.
