Re: Document Accessibility Scanner

Hi Ryan,

This probably is not too helpful as you are already are using another LMS,
but I know that Blackboard offers a tool for this called Blackboard Ally -
http://ally.ac/ <http://ally.ac/>. I do believe it works on a select number
of Learning Management Systems outside of Blackboard. Please note that no
endorsement is implied and I have limited experience with it.

Good luck.
