Alternative Formats
Ally creates alternative formats of your course files based on the original materials. These formats are made available to students alongside the original content in your course, so students can find everything in one convenient location.
Instructors do not need to do anything for the alternative formats to be created, this happens as part of the Ally process. To see the different formats available, select the Alternative Formats link next to the file name. Choose any of these options and then Download to get an example of what will be available to students.
