Customize Ally feature flags

You can turn some features on or off to customize Ally to suit your institutional preferences.

In Ally Configuration, decide what features you want to be enabled.

  1. Go to Ally Configuration and select Features.
  2. Find the feature you want to turn on or off and select it.
    • Immersive Reader alternative format: Students can enhance the reading experience with this online feature.
    • Translated version alternative format: Students can download a translated alternative format of an original file.
    • BeeLine Reader alternative format: Students can download a BeeLine Reader alternative format.
    • Score indicators in all courses for administrators: Administrators can see the Ally accessibility score gauges in all courses, including courses where Ally is not enabled in the Ally Configuration UI. This allows them to fix issues without having to enable Ally in the course.

    • This feature flag is available for D2L Brightspace, Instructure Canvas, Moodle, and Schoology.

    • Access the Instructor Feedback from the Institutional Report: Give administrators, disability services, and instructional designers access to the Instructor Feedback.
    • Instructor feedback for WYSIWYG content (Rich Text Editor content): Instructors and administrators can access feedback for content created in your LMS WYSIWYG editor. Tick on the "Also enable LMS built-in checker" checkbox to enable both accessibility checkers. 

    • More on WYSIWYG Accessibility for instructors

      This feature flag does not disable the Instructor Feedback or quick fixes on HTML files uploaded or created in D2L Brightspace.

    • Ally data integration into Impact by Instructure (formerly EesySoft): Institutions with an Impact by Instructure license can allow more detailed monitoring of interactions in the alternative formats modal, the instructor feedback, and the course accessibility report. Institutions can use this data for adoption reports and campaigns within Impact by Instructure. The Impact by Instructure integration is disabled by default.

      This integration requires an Impact by Instructure license.

  3. Select Enable or Disable to turn the feature on or off.
