This fall semester, in each issue of OIT’s Instruction and Research Support Monthly News, we will be presenting YuJa Panorama technology tips to help faculty, instructors, and graduate teaching associates utilize the platform to remediate course materials for accessibility. 

TIP 1: Start with Automated Accessibility Checks 

Look for the Panorama accessibility icon indicators next to files and content in your Canvas course. Review the overall accessibility score for each Canvas site and course files. Prioritize crucial files flagged with a red icon and update them using Panorama’s remediation guidance. Start with the materials students use most frequently (syllabus, key readings, weekly modules).
