Blackboard is the website that you will use to access all information related to your course; you may have had something similar at your school or college. You can access “alternative formats” for content uploaded to your course. You can use these alternative formats to better suit your preferences. For example you could listen to an audio version, or use the HTML version on a mobile device.
The alternative formats button appears beside content on your Blackboard course. The icon looks an A with a downward arrow beside it. When using a screen reader, the button is announced as “alternative formats”.
