About the reports

Described in subsequent text

Access the site report by going to Books & Tools (in the Details & Actions menu), then Accessibility Report. The course accessibility report shows the overall course accessibility score, the distribution of course content by content type and the list of all issues that have been identified in the course.

You may want to remove all hidden, old files completely from your course site - you may see an immediate improvement in your course site score! As course sites are rolled over each year, old material can be retrieved from last year’s site. Leave yourself a note on your current site to check older sites for any material that you may wish to recycle in future years.

The instructor can choose to start fixing the content by “Content that’s easiest to fix” or “Content with most severe issues” depending on the content in the course. The instructor can easily see a list of which content items in their course have been flagged with an issue, and is able to jump directly into the instructor feedback from the report. This should make working through the remediation of multiple items a bit faster.

The course accessibility report provides the ability to sort by severity, issue name, number of issues identified and accessibility score.

Note that you should still use a human-centred approach to organising your course structure and provide meaningful ways of navigating the content in your course vle site. What content does Ally check? Find out what content Ally checks. -->
