[Athen] Alt Text Repository Software

[Shuttlesworth, Rachel]

We use the Content Collection in Blackboard Learn; our students are already in Blackboard frequently. Our area (Center for Instructional Technology) created an alt-text account for our Office of Disability Services staff. We made the folder visible to everyone on our campus, but when files are uploaded by ODS, they are shared with the individual student only. This allows ODS to remove access when no longer needed and gives some tracking showing if the files have been accessed. If anyone wants more info or wants steps to give your Blackboard admin, let me know.

I am asking people that provide Alternative Text Services do you use a secured repository to house your electronic  books for the students to get their book remotely?  If so  , what software are you using to support that service.
Thank you,
