About
Slide presentations can often be flagged as inaccessible in the Ally Course Report. They cannot be remediated inside Ally at this time. This guide shows how to locate inaccessible slide presentations inside the Ally Course Accessibility Report, identify specific slide flags using the feedback panel, and points to next steps to fix and replace the file in your course.
To find your slide presentations inside the Ally Course Accessibility Report:
- Open the Ally Course Accessibility Report and select the Content tab.
- In the course file list, identify slide decks by looking at the subtitle under each item's title (e.g., Presentation, PowerPoint presentation, or .pptx extension).
- Select the file title or its Score Meter to open the Instructor Feedback Panel.
Inside the slide deck's Instructor Feedback Panel:
- View the Accessibility Score at the top right.
- Review the slide preview window and the specific accessibility flags listed on the right side of the screen.
- Select All issues to see every flagged item for that presentation (e.g., missing alt text, low text contrast, unheaded slides).
Slide presentations cannot be remediated for accessibility in Ally at this time. The original file will need to be fixed and re-added to your course. For guidance on this process see the article Accessible Slide Presentations: Sharing Slides in D2L Recommended Workflow to remediate slides.
Google Slides does not have an internal accessibility checker. For a quicker process, download Google Slide decks in Microsoft PowerPoint to use the internal accessibility checker.
You are done. Great job!
