Blackboard Ally was integrated into all Blackboard courses at NDSU on 12/23/20. Ally supports diversity, equity, and inclusive learning following Universal Design for Learning’s three principles of engagement, representation, and action/expression in a way that equitably benefits all students, faculty, and staff.

LAIC recommends prioritizing ensuring that your syllabus and required readings are accessible and that videos are captioned as the semester begins.

Keep Your Zoom Desktop Client and Mobile App Up-to-date

It’s a good practice to update your Zoom applications at least once per semester, if not more frequently. The start of a new semester is a good time to check your current version and update the apps before your first class!

Zoom regularly provides new versions of the Zoom desktop client and mobile app to release new features and fix bugs. We recommend upgrading to the latest versions whenever they become available.
