Compatible with all major LMSs, Panorama Real-Time Suggestions enables course creators to fix accessibility issues on the spot right inside the LMS.
YuJa Panorama’s Real-Time Suggestion capability automatically provides options for accessibility improvements and prompts instructors to fix issues as they’re creating course content. Creators are alerted if content has incorrect font sizes, color contrast issues, missing alternative or descriptive text, and more.
If an accessibility issue is detected within content, it will be flagged as Minor, Major, or Severe, based on flag levels set up by instructors. Instructors are then provided with appropriate solutions to resolve the issue so all learners can access the information.
