Faculty Register for Blackboard Ally Pilot by April 17 |
|
|
In previous weeks, the Offices of Educational Outreach, Disability Support Services, and Information Technology Services announced the course accessibility tool, Blackboard Ally, would be piloted in summer 2018.
We are seeking faculty teaching in Summer 2018 who are using Blackboard extensively for content delivery to participate in the pilot. For pilot faculty, the Blackboard Ally tool will be enabled during the course building phase in mid-April. Before summer term, faculty will be provided resources to learn about the tool and attend optional training. We will then ask participating faculty and students to provide feedback on the Blackboard Ally tool and the resources provided.
At the end of the pilot, supporting materials will be reevaluated and Blackboard Ally will be enabled for all Fall 2018 courses. Additional training sessions will be scheduled for late June, July and August. After the beginning of the fall semester, resources will be available through the ITS Knowledge Base, or individual consultations can be scheduled with the Instructional Design & Learning Technologies group.
Faculty interested in joining the pilot should complete this application form by Tuesday, April 17. Faculty from all disciplines are welcome to take part in the pilot. Courses running in the first five weeks of the term that use Blackboard extensively for content delivery will be given preference. Please contact Instructional Design & Learning Technologies for questions at idlt_center@siue.edu.
