Ally 1.9 | Release to production 29 August 2017

Updated Features

Improved audio generation

The audio alternative format has been significantly improved. Items such as headings, lists and tables are now read in a more consistent and structured way.

Deleted files in institution report

Files that are deleted from courses are no longer displayed in the institutional report, making it easier to get an up-to-date overview of every course.

Localized deployments

The Ally deployments that reside outside of North America now also utilize non-US servers for 3rd party services that Ally relies on. This means that local deployments do not rely on US servers for any Ally functionality.

Bug Fixes

  • In Blackboard Learn, the instructor feedback icon is now displayed in the correct position for items with multiple attachments.
  • The accessible versions download option in Blackboard Open LMS is now localized.
