We update them each semester as technology tools and instructors’ needs change. Workshops are listed below by date offered. You can also view them grouped on our Workshop Categories page.

Use Ally to Improve Accessibility of Course Materials on Brightspace
Ally, a tool integrated into Brightspace, is designed to help professors improve the accessibility of online course content by flagging content that is not accessible and suggesting ways to make it accessible. In this workshop, we will go over how to use Ally’s accessibility rating system to optimize your course content for accessibility, with a focus on how to remediate content that Ally rates poorly for accessibility. We will also discuss Ally’s student-facing features, including the ability to transcode your course content to different formats, such as HTML, braille, and audio. |
