Student Accessibility Services (SAS) will continue to work with students and faculty to ensure that appropriate disability-related accommodations, including testing, are provided regardless of the course delivery method. Students who are currently receiving testing accommodations (extended time) should work with their faculty to implement that via Blackboard Learn. For all non-testing accommodations, please contact sas@buffalostate.edu to discuss your individual concerns.
Test Availability Exceptions within a Blackboard Learn test, options can be modified to reflect accommodations needed for specific students. These options can be used to allow multiple attempts, extended time, or different test availability dates to specific students.
Blackboard Ally Alternative Format allows students to choose alternative formats for their course content. If content creators upload PowerPoint or Word lecture notes and the student prefers an audio version of the notes, they can facilitate this with the click of a button. Accessibility options will include audio files, electronic braille, epub for e-book readers and mobile devices and html for viewing in browsers.
