Yuja Panorama – Getting Started

Create a Yuja Panorama Account #

To Create an account, go into one of your courses, click on More Tools from the course Navigation bar, and click on “Panorama”. You will be taken to the Panorama Dashboard.

Note: You can always access the Panorama through this method, or you can access Panorama directly with your SSO Credentials. However, we recommend originally opening Panorama through D2L to create your account and ensure you are enrolled with instructor access in Panorama.

View an Accessibility Report from the Yuja Panorma Dashboard #

Let’s explore the Panorama Dashboard. Make sure you are on the Course Report from the left sidebar menu (it will be highlighted in purple if you are currently on the Course Report).

Scroll down until you see the “Search Issues and Content” section. You can choose to sort the issues by “Content” which will let you fix issues on each individual file, or you can choose “Issues” which will let you see the severity of the accessibility issue and all the files currently affected.

Note: If you are opening Panorama for the first time, it can take up to 30 minutes for a course to be fully scanned. If you are logging in for the first time during a peak traffic time (such as the week before classes start) note that it may take a little longer for your courses to be scanned.

Click on the File Name or the Score Dial icon to open up the Alternative Formats Menu.

Then, click on the “Accessibility Report”. 

The next screen will tell you exactly what issues there are with this file. Click on the “Learn More” link to watch a video or get written instructions on how to fix the particular issue. If you use this option, you will need to upload and replace the file once you’ve made changes to it. You may also see a “Fix Issue” button, which will make updates directly to the file in Panorama.

Note that Panorama will suggest a change (such as changing the text to black for better contrast, or upping the font size to 12pt), but this can be changed to what you’d like. Click “Add Fix” to save the change.

Note that if you have multiples of the same issue, you can check the “Add change to all instances of this issue” before clicking the “Add Fix” button.

After clicking “Add Fix”, Panorama will jump to the next accessibility issue automatically. You can also click on the “Skip to Review” button if you would like to save your progress and return later

Once you have finished making all your accessibility changes, you will be brought to a Review screen. Click the “Apply Fixes” button to save your changes.

After applying your changes, note that it may take a few minutes for the accessibility changes to apply and an updated accessibility report to be generated. Do not exit the window before you see a confetti cannon animation. The confetti cannon lets you know your changes were saved successfully.

Additionally, you will see a message that the document has been successfully updated in D2L.

See the Yuja Panorama Accessibility Report Inside D2L #

Panorama can display the accessibility report for you directly inside your D2L shell instead of the Panorama dashboard. You should see a person icon pop up next to files in course Content, next to announcements, and more. This means that Panorama has an accessibility report for you to view for the particular piece of content. Click on the person icon to see the Alternative Formats Menu.

Then, click on “Accessibility Report” to view the accessibility report and make changes.
