We have successfully pushed a new tool for all YuJa Panorama Digital Accessibility Platforms residing in the United States, Canada, European Union, and Australia.

1. Assign One-Time Credits to Panorama’s PDF Remediation Engine Max and Autopilot Pro In one-off cases where an institution requires more credits than their monthly limit, they can contact their Client Success Manager to add additional credits that will remain on their platform until used.

We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa Panorama Digital Accessibility Platform instances residing in the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the Middle East, and the European Union.   This update includes web and HTML view for WYSIWYG content, preview adjustments for color contrast issues, disable scans for unpublished content in Canvas,  a new accessibility check for outdated file formats, customized branding for the Panorama LTI navbar, support for detecting accessibility issues in the WYSIWYG editor for Canvas Quizzes,  support for Moodle page descriptions, a manual override for the reading order check, improved processing speeds when generating reports, and more.

1. Accessibility Reports Offer Web and HTML View for WYSIWYG Content Content creators can review their WYSIWYG Accessibility Reports in a visual web format or HTML text. The web format lets creators see their content exactly as it appears to others, while the HTML view provides insight into the page’s structure to review issues.
2. Preview Adjustments When Resolving Color Contrast Issues When addressing insufficient contrast between text and background colors, Panorama provides a preview and calculates the contrast ratio to ensure your newly selected colors meet accessibility standards.
3. Disable Accessibility Scans for Unpublished Content in Canvas Canvas admins and instructors can disable accessibility scans for unpublished documents and pages, ensuring that course and institution accessibility scores reflect only what is available to view.
4. New Accessibility Check for Outdated File Formats The Accessibility Report will verify that DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX documents are updated to the latest file versions and provide steps for updating them if needed.
5. Customize the Branding of the Panorama LTI Navbar The background and text color of the Panorama LTI navbar can be customized to match your institution’s branding.
6. Expanded Support for the WYSIWYG Editor Inside Canvas Quizzes As part of our ongoing efforts to increase accessibility in all areas of Canvas, we now support real-time accessibility checks within the WYSIWYG editor for Quizzes.
7. Moodle Page Descriptions Will Be Scanned to Detect Accessibility Issues We have expanded Panorama’s capabilities to include an Accessibility Report for descriptions created on Moodle Pages.
8. Manually Verify the Reading Order of Documents In cases where Panorama identifies the reading order as an issue, content creators may prefer to retain their original order. To accommodate this, we’ve introduced a “Verify reading order” checkbox, which will prevent Panorama from flagging the reading order issue upon rescanning the document.
9. View an Organized List of Accessibility Issues and Non-Accessibility Issues With Panorama’s vast range of checks, it’s important for content creators to recognize that some issues detected by Panorama may not directly impact a document’s accessibility but could affect its usability, such as a document containing broken links. To help distinguish between these issues, the Issue settings now include two separate tabs: Accessibility Issues and Non-Accessibility Issues.
10. Improved Iconography and UI When Reviewing Issues in the Accessibility Report We’ve enhanced the iconography and user interface of the Review Issues panel in the Accessibility Report to more clearly indicate the severity levels of the issues being reviewed.
11. Improved Processing Speeds for Requested Reports We’ve optimized our processing times to ensure downloadable reports are received more quickly.
12. View Live Data on the Current Month’s Accessibility Trends The highlight cards in each Panorama report provide a quick snapshot of the current month’s trends, allowing you to easily compare the accessibility performance of various areas.
13. In-Depth Filtering for Search Results in My Content The My Content section in Panorama now features in-depth filtering options to search results based on specified files.
14. RESTful APIs Can Filter Accessibility Scores When using Panorama’s APIs to retrieve data, users can now retrieve accessibility scores based on sub-accounts, courses, and terms.
