Installation
The Ally filter can be downloaded from:

The filter should be located and named as:
[yourmoodledir]/filter/ally
Configuration
For the filter to function it is necessary to download and configure the Ally admin tool:
https://github.com/anthology-ally/moodle-tool_ally
Instructions on how to do so are available in the README.md file for the admin tool. For more help you can contact an Ally representative online via the Ally webpage https://www.blackboard.com/accessibility/blackboard-ally.aspx
Usage
The filter will be functional after the Ally admin tool has been successfully configured and your Ally
representative has finalized the setup.
Non image files
The filter should automatically add two new icons to non-image files created by teachers (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .odt, .ppt,
.pptx, .odp, .html).
For teachers, a feedback icon and an alternative downloads icon will display.
For students, only the alternative downloads icon will display.
