Choosing Features That Meet Current and Future Needs

Meridian Community College was introduced to YuJa through the Mississippi eLearning Association (MeLA), a consortium of the state’s community colleges. “After doing (several) demos, we found that YuJa met more of the accessibility requirements that we knew were part of online learning or would be future standards and requirements coming in the next two to five years,” said Erin Richardson, an Instructional Design Specialist at the college.

Before YuJa Panorama, determining accessibility and meeting individual needs was a manual process. With new regulations mandating that all content be accessible and accreditation programs asking how programs are making their content inclusive to learners, Richardson said they knew it was time to prepare for the future. YuJa Panorama would help instructors create materials accessible to all learners while maintaining compliance standards. “YuJa Panorama has done a good job of making sure we’re prepared. There’s not a product out there that is 100 percent comparable,” said Dr. Kelley Gonzales, Associate Vice President for Technology at MCC.
