Panorama is a tool for students to access alternative formats of documents. Have you ever accessed a file in your course that was difficult to read, or you wish came in a different format? Now, with YuJa Panorama, you can download alternative formats directly from your course.
Benefits of Panorama Alternative Formats

- Provide more flexible options to review course materials on the go for those who commute, balance family obligations, etc.
- Supports students with disabilities, as well as those with learning needs and preferences.
- Convert content in scanned PDFs so that they can work with assistive technology.
