Document Accessibility Reports and Remediation Guidance for KSU Staff

Kennesaw State uses an accessibility tool integrated into our LMS, D2L Brightspace, called YuJa Panorama.  This tool allows faculty and students to produce accessible alternative formats of course documents.  It also provides accessibility reports for faculty and guidance on remediating documents for accessibility.

This functionality is also available to KSU staff outside of the LMS!  Digital Learning Innovations provides support and guidance on how to best use this powerful new tool.  Review our resources here and use the button below to access the DocHub!

(Note: YuJa has made a few updates after the videos below were recorded.  Some things may look slightly different now, but functionality should be unaffected.  We'll work on updating our documentation and videos as we can!)

Viewing the Accessibility Report

From your DocHub document library, hover over the item you want to review and click View to access the Accessibility Report.

Decoding the Icons

The indicators offer a quick glance at content most in need of remediation.  The colors and shapes of the indicators are based on a score Panorama gives the content using AI:

  • Blue circle icon: Accessibility icon (Student View)
  • Dark Green octagon icon: Very high accessibility scores
  • Green hexagon icon: High accessibility scores
  • Yellow triangle icon:  Medium accessibility scores
  • Red hexagon icon: Low accessibility scores
  • Red rounded hexagon icon: Very low accessibility scores
  • Grey prohibition icon: Your institution has disabled the alternative formats for this document
  • Purple circle icon: The file is being processed for accessibility

Note: Remember that the Panorama color-coded gauge as an indicator of the number and type of issues that Panorama detects, rather than a “passing score.”

Remediating Your Content

Once you've opened the Accessibility Report for your document, the document will populate on one side and the report on the other.

The report will detail minor, major, and severe accessibility issues, as well as provide options and instructions for remediation. 

The specific steps for remediation will depend on the issues present in the document. In some cases, you will be able to make the changes directly within Panorama; for more severe issues, you may be prompted to make the fixes externally. 

You can also access the Alternative Formats options by clicking the Alternative Formats button at the top of the report.

Remember that, when you are finished with remediation, you will still need to download the revised document and add it to your webpage.

Exporting the Revised Document

  1. From the DocHub Library, hover over the item you want to export.
  2. A dropdown menu will appear. Click the Download option.
