[Athen] International Ally User Group – 22 June 2023

[Matthew Deeprose]

At the next meeting of the International Ally User Group, we’ll find out how one University is using Ally for Web. "Ally for Web" is the sister tool of "Ally for LMS" that we tend to think of when we talk about Ally, but Ally for Web can plug into corporate websites. We’ll also reflect on some of the questions raised from our panel session in April and learn what happened during Anthology’s "Fix Your Content Day" last month. 

Join us on Thursday 22 June 2023 07:00 PDT / 10:00 EDT / 15:00 BST/ 16:00 CEST / 17:00 TRT / 18:00 GST at the International Ally Group!
