Service restored for Moodle Ally plugin

Full service has now been restored for the Ally plugin, which had previously been experiencing issues after last week’s Moodle upgrade. Students once again can use Ally to convert individual documents into accessible formats. Instructors can do the same, as well as use Ally to generate accessibility reports for their courses.

Thank you for your patience while LITS resolved this issue. Please email help@brynmawr.edu or call the Help Desk at 610-526-7440 if you have any questions.
