A one-hour online session promises instructors information on YuJa Panorama, Feb. 13 at 3 p.m. The training session is a great opportunity to learn more about this tool and to use it to make course sites accessible to everyone.

YuJa Panorama is available for instructors to opt into for the Winter 2023 semester on a course-by-course basis. Once enabled, this tool scans document formats uploaded to a course site and identifies common inaccessible properties. It then offers solutions for fixing those issues, making it easier for instructors to create accessible content.

Alternative formats generated by YuJa Panaorama include PDF, an Immersive Reader, text, EPUB, Braille, Audio, and more. These options allow users to choose the format that works best for them. The tool also generates a report for instructors, which displays files processed by type, alternative formats downloaded, and any issues noticed within the site’s documents. This report assists instructors to focus on the documents requiring improvements, as well as monitoring which alternate formats are generated the most.
