What is YuJa Panorama?

YuJa Panorama helps identify accessibility issues in digital materials and provides scores, guidance, and tools to improve accessibility. Start by checking your materials, make corrections using the appropriate tools, and return to Panorama to review your progress.

How Does the Process Work?

1. Check

Use Panorama to identify accessibility issues.

2. Fix

Make corrections in Panorama or another appropriate tool, such as Adobe Acrobat.

3. Recheck

Return to Panorama to review remaining issues.

Important: Panorama cannot automatically fix every accessibility issue. Structural PDF issues involving headings, lists, tables, tags, and reading order may require Adobe Acrobat Pro or corrections to the original document.

Where Are You Working?

What can students see? Students cannot see your course accessibility score or Panorama's instructor reports, even when YuJa Panorama is enabled in your course navigation.

Choose the option that best matches the materials you want to check.

Working in Canvas?

Review your course accessibility report, identify issues, and access available remediation tools.

Start here: Open your Canvas course and select YuJa Panorama from course navigation.

  3. Make corrections. Use the appropriate tools based on the issues identified:
    • Basic issues: Use Panorama's available tools to address issues such as alternative text and certain contrast or formatting problems.
    • Structural PDF issues: Download the PDF and make corrections using the Adobe Acrobat Pro desktop application (not the web version). Alternatively, correct the original Word or PowerPoint document and export it as a new accessible PDF.
