To support our commitment to a more inclusive campus, we’re introducing a new tool called Ally!

What is Blackboard Ally

Ally helps your students get the most from their course resources, and help you make your Blackboard space inclusive for all. Blackboard Ally automatically converts course resources into a variety of formats, from HTML and e-book for reading on mobile devices, to Electronic Braille for the visually impaired, and audio for learning on the go.

Ally also helps you make small changes to resources you upload to make them more accessible, in easy-to-follow steps.

Instructors will see a small dial icon next to any uploaded content giving an indication of how accessible it is. Clicking this icon will detail issues along with helpful guidance and a simple interface to fix them. Students do not see these accessibility indicators, the only interaction they have with Ally is downloading automatically generated alternative formats.

Ally accessible score icons.

Ally is being rolled out in the New Year (January 2019): to find out more, explore these quick guides from Blackboard to get you started.

  5. Did the review test the mobile browser performance during peak weekend hours?
    Some of these flashy newer layouts constantly drop connection during bonus wheel sequences on older phones, which forces you to
    wait on customer support to credit the missing round.

  6. U těch kombinovaných sázek na hokej bych byl opatrnější.
    Sázení na střelce gólů bývá v článku doporučováno jako hodnota, ale málokdo ví, že většina sázkovek nepočítá prodloužení,
    pokud to není výslovně uvedeno v pravidlech.

  7. Moim zdaniem opisywanie bakarata jako gry czysto losowej bez strategii jest sporym uproszczeniem.
    Zakład na bankiera ma najniższy house edge ze wszystkich popularnych stołów
    w kasynie na żywo. Szkoda, że rzadko liczy się do
    obrotu środków bonusowych, bo wtedy miałoby to
    jeszcze większy sens.

  8. Ehrlich gesagt halte ich Live-Roulette mittlerweile für deutlich sicherer als RNG-Kessel.

    Nicht wegen Betrugsvorwürfen, sondern weil das Tempo viel langsamer ist.

    Man verballert nicht innerhalb von Sekunden sein ganzes Budget, sondern überlegt bei jedem
    Coup etwas länger.

  9. Sulle scommesse sportive live avete tralasciato l’impatto del cash out anticipato.
    Spesso salva la cassa quando la partita si mette male negli ultimi
    dieci minuti, specialmente nei campionati minori dove i ribaltamenti improvvisi sono
    all’ordine del giorno. Vale la pena approfondire questo
    aspetto.
