Blackboard Ally: Course Accessibility Report

What is the Course Accessibility Report?

The Course Accessibility Report shows you, for a specific course

  • the overall course accessibility score
  • the distribution of course content by type
  • a list of all issues that have been identified in the course.

The report provides an easy way to see which content items in your course have been flagged with an issue, and to start remediating those issues, direct from the report.

The course accessibility report also provides some help with prioritisation, as it shows options such as “Content that’s easiest to fix” and “Content with most severe issues”.
