[Athen] System-Wide Accessibility Checker???

[Sean Keegan]

I have been hearing about the Ally tool (from Fronteer - http://ally.ac/)
as a potential solution for evaluating course content and documents inside
an LMS. From what I understand, it is available as a beta solution right
now for Canvas.

I believe Blackboard recently purchased the company, so you may want to
check with your representative as to what options may be available down the
road.

In the interim, the only other options may be the CommonLook Clarity or
running the Acrobat Accessibility Check on individual documents.

Take care,
Sean
