Ally is much more than just a remediation tool – it provides the insight and guidance required to create a welcoming digital learning environment.
Ally founded the category in 2017. Over the ensuing decade, we’ve partnered with thousands of leading institutions to promote inclusive learning at scale.
Forget additional charges for new capabilities and constant upselling. With Ally, it’s just one simple contract, and all our innovation – including features powered by AI – is included as part of the core license.
Your accessibility program will evolve over time, and insights from peer institutions are crucial to ongoing improvement. Ally connects you with thousands of leading institutions from around the world, including training, regular events, and a thriving online community.
Only Ally strikes the perfect balance between automation and autonomy, providing efficiency for faculty without ever requiring them to cede control of their courses.
The same high expectations that students have for learning content also applies to your website. Ally for Web supports accessible online content, ensuring that students can interact with important information along their learner journey.
Adding Ally to your website allows key content to be downloaded in a range of alternative formats, including audio, ePub, braille and more. Automated translations are also supported for 70+ languages, which is vital for international students and other non-native speakers.
Just as Ally provides in-depth data for accessibility in the LMS, the same rigor is also applied to your website. Ally’s Website Accessibility Report provides granular detail on how your website performs for accessibility, all based on WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards, with easy export options to integrate this data into your institution’s accessibility strategy.
