New Tool: YuJa and Panorama and DocHub

Starting February 1, KSU will have available a new suite of tools from YuJa, including support for math and science equations.

Panorama

Panorama will replace Blackboard Ally in D2L. It will act the same as Ally (providing a graphic indicator of the accessibility level of your document) but will also be able to fix many items within D2L.

Learn more about Panorama.

DocHub

A space outside of D2L where you can upload documents to check for accessibility and fix many issues.

Check out DocHub now!
