The Universal Design for Learning research suggests that providing multiple modalities of content will improve student learning outcomes, but it can be time-consuming to develop multiple formats of your course content. The new Ally tool will do this for you if you content meets basic accessibility requirements.
In this webinar, you will learn about the Ally Alternate Formats tool available to your students, as well as how to make quick edits to your content to ensure that students can choose their preferred format for engaging with the content. If you type content into a page in Brightspace, upload PowerPoint slides, or upload a reading in a pdf file, your students will have the option to read the content directly in Brightspace as usual, or download an mp3 version to listen to while they read or go for a walk or download an immersive reader version that helps them more deeply engage with the reading improving comprehension.
Join us to learn about some quick fixes you can make to your Brightspace content to take advantage of the Ally Alternate Formats tool to improve the learning experience for all of your students.
