Back to EdTech Toolkit Home

Purpose

YuJa Panorama is an accessibility tool that promotes inclusivity for all learners and is integrated into our learning management system, Canvas. Note that Panorama replaces the previous, similar tool Ally (starting in January 2025), but with added functionality.

Description

Faculty can interact with Panorama features from within their Canvas courses to run accessibility reports, fix accessibility issues, and even improve the accessibility of documents. All SRJC Canvas users, including students, can use Panorama to generate Alternative Formats to meet their individual needs.
