[Athen] Blackboard Ally and captioning

[Pamela Riesmeyer]

I'm sorry, is that the current understanding, that course content that is
not public doesn't need to be accessible?
Would someone be able to please point me to the documentation? I am going
to get questions about this, and will need something to show. My
understanding was that if it was online, no matter where, content needed to
meet the compliance standards for accessibility.

Thanks,
