Ally for Canvas

Ally is a tool that integrates with Canvas. Ally has two main functions:

1. Ally provides feedback to instructors on the accessibility of course content and files and guidance on how to follow basic accessibility principles to make their content more accessible.
2. Ally automatically generates alternative formats for all files uploaded to Canvas by the instructor.
