Your instructor probably has many different pieces of content in your course. Ally creates alternative formats for those content items. You can download the alternative formats anywhere you see Ally's alternative formats download icon, which is a button at the top of a Canvas page that says Alternative Formats with a capital A and a downward pointing arrow. Just choose the version of the original that is best for your needs!
Follow these steps:
- Navigate to a document or other content in your Canvas course
- Click on the name of the document
- Find and select the Alternative Formats button at the top of the page
- Select the relevant version you'd like to use and select Download
