Creating accessible content and interactions to support diverse learning
preferences are the guiding principles of Universal Design for Learning
(UDL) and support a wide range of learners, whether or not they identify as a person with a disability.

Want to know more about what Instructional Technology is training about? Here is more detail from their post:
Improving
the accessibility of course content not only helps ensure students with
different abilities can access materials, but it improves the learning
experience for everyone, including those who use mobile devices.
These tools start with Blackboard Ally. Available in both
Original and Ultra courses, Ally scans content in Blackboard and
provides feedback and tools to identify and fix accessibility issues.
Leverage Ally's powerful alternative format options
yourself, and let students know they can download content in multiple
formats that give them choices in how they watch, read, or listen.
