RMIT student’s experience using Ally
RMIT student’s experience using Ally
My name is Lalith, I am a vision impaired student at RMIT.
I am doing a Bachelor of Information Technology.
The last semester I met with the Ally project and the team through the ELS. And after that I found it was a really fantastic program for myself especially because I am vision impaired.
With using this Ally tool I can easily format into MP3 or Word or even pdf tagged files.
I'm working three days and studying two days at RMIT so I really need the time. So this is a time saver because, you know especially when I was doing it in the past I spent half an hour - 45 minutes doing the formatting into another format then and then take it.
And the Ally software can do that within seconds.
So I really appreciate the team and RMIT enforcing that into the Canvas environment.
