Accessing Ally Alternative Formats on Brightspace

1.  Locate a page within your Brightspace course that you want converted to a different format.  If you have not yet opened the page, you will see the Alternative Formats icon to the right of the page title (the Ally icon resembles a capital "A" next to a down arrow, as shown in the screenshot below).  If the page is already open, you will see a button labeled Alternative Formats towards the bottom of the page.

3.  From the next menu that opens, select your desired format option and then select the Download button.
