Digital Accessibility
YuJa Panorama is a digital accessibility tool integrated into our Brightspace environment. It is designed to help instructors evaluate and improve the accessibility of their course materials and to help students by increasing their access to course information and content.
Panorama identifies issues and suggests solutions to fix problems for the following file formats:
- PDF (Acrobat).
- DOC and DOCX (Word).
- PPT and PPTX (PowerPoint).
- ODP (OpenDocument presentation).
- RTF (Rich Text).
- HTML (web pages).
- GIF (animated images).
Below is a screenshot of the instructor experience in a course under the Content page. By referring to the color-coded accessibility badges next to each file, you can quickly see the accessibility score per file.
