    YuJa EqualGround Accessibility Governance Platform – v26.3.0 Release

    Over the next few weeks, the YuJa EqualGround Accessibility Governance Platform will be expanding capabilities to include heatmap analytics, new integration with Cascade CMS, additional support for SharePoint, and much more.

    1. CMS Plugin Support Extended to Cascade CMS

      EqualGround’s CMS integration is expanding to Cascade CMS, allowing users to detect, assess, and remediate issues directly in the Cascade interface as pages are edited. Key features include:

      • Track Conformance Using Comprehensive Scores: A set of scores are displayed on pages based on analysis from the Accessibility, SEO, and Usability engine.

    3. Expanded Accessibility Checkers Increase Site-Wide Conformance

      New accessibility checkers and suggested fixes have been added to EqualGround to improve website accessibility conformance. The following checkers were added:

      • Table Headers Do Not Contain Table Data: Tables that do not contain table data cells (<td>) do not provide meaningful information or relationships for assistive technologies. Users will be prompted to fill tables with data using the <td> tag, and to replace layout-only tables with non-table HTML markup.

      • Missing Accessible Names for <iframe>: <iframe> elements must include a descriptive and accessible name using “aria-label”, “title”, or “aria-labelledby” for assistive technologies to understand the embedded frame content.

Once the integration is enabled, the platform will be able to identify and flag any Panopto Videos in the WYSIWYG editor that are missing captions. By flagging videos without captions, YuJa Panorama helps instructors maintain accessibility standards and ensure all students have equal access to course content. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

      Administrators can now enable permissions for students to perform inline remediation on their own documents in DocHub. When enabled in Global Settings, students in DocHub will be able to open accessibility reports and perform inline remediation in their documents. By allowing students to perform inline remediation for accessibility issues, students can get into the practice of creating fully accessible documents that reflect their institution’s accessibility standards and goals.

    8. Allow Instructors to Manually Dismiss Issues In Specific Courses

      Institutions can now map the Content Developer role to the Panorama Instructor role. This lets designers improve course accessibility just like instructors, without granting access to admin reports or institution-level settings, and eliminates the need to enroll them as teachers in hundreds of courses. The result is a streamlined workflow, secure role management, and faster accessibility improvements across courses.

    9. Toggle the Visibility of Accessibility Scores To Help Instructors Focus On Issues Instead of Numbers

      Administrators can now hide Accessibility Scores from Course Reports and document Accessibility Scores from instructors to ensure that only administrators have access to Accessibility Score data. This will allow instructors to focus on accessibility issues rather than on numerical scores. When the Show Accessibility Scores to Instructors setting is disabled, instructors retain full access to Accessibility Reports and remediation tools, but cannot view any accessibility scores.

    10. Toggle the Ability to Check for Missing Title Issues in HTML Files to Improve Screen Readability
