Use alternative formats with Blackboard Ally

You can convert a file to HTML for improved reading on mobile devices, or to Immersive Reader with its Read Aloud functions, and MP3 audio files for learning on the go. There are over 50 languages available with the Translated format, and electronic Braille for the visually impaired. If you're not sure which format to download, click on the Help link to help you decide.
Downloading Alternative Formats
Just click on the Ally's alternative formats download icon beside the original file (the image shown on the right), select the format that you would like and select Download.
