Today is Blackboard’s Fix Your Content Day, and every accessibility fix you make in Blackboard Ally counts twice.
Globally, your fixes help Wichita State climb the live leaderboard as campuses around the world race to improve as much course content as they can in one day.
On campus, the same fixes count toward a college competition. The college with the most accessibility improvement in Blackboard wins a certificate and trophy.
Make a fix in a few minutes
- Open a course you teach in Blackboard.
- Select a red or orange dial. Ally opens a feedback panel that shows what’s wrong.
- Follow Ally’s steps to make the improvement. Try the AI alt text assistant for images and PDF quick fixes for missing titles, language and tags.
- Keep going. A file doesn’t need to reach 100% to count as a fix.
Even one fix between classes or meetings helps. Check the leaderboard throughout the day to see where WSU ranks.
