Universal Design and Ally

UDL, or Universal Design for Learning, is a framework to improve accessibility for all. UDL is intended to give all students an equal opportunity to succeed. In this workshop, you will learn how to apply UDL Guidelines to make improvements to your own courses. But where to start?

Ally is a tool that can be integrated in Canvas to help you begin. It helps make courses more accessible, by providing you with a report containing practical guidance and a time-saving interface for making improvements. It also allows students to download documents in alternative formats (like audio or electronic braille). This session will explore Ally in action, and walk you through how to request it for your course.
