THE OREGON COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTANCE LEARNING ASSOCIATION SELECTS YUJA PANORAMA FOR DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY PLATFORM TO SERVE 17 COLLEGES THROUGHOUT THE STATE
The Oregon Community College Distance Learning Association (OCCDLA), which represents the state’s 17 publicly chartered community colleges and their locally elected board members, has selected the YuJa Panorama Digital Accessibility Platform to increase the accessibility of digital media and course content across all 17 institutions that serve nearly 350,000 students.
The Association was seeking a replacement accessibility solution that provides comprehensive reporting, keyboard accessibility, alternative formats, and file remediation, and that provides innovation in higher education accessibility. In addition, YuJa Panorama will help instructors and course creators pinpoint and correct accessibility issues, as well as improve the learning experience by driving inclusivity as a key and measurable objective. The Platform automatically generates accessible versions of all uploaded documents and provides users with customized website accessibility profiles that can be applied to any webpage. YuJa Panorama integrates directly with all major LMSs, including Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Blackboard, and Moodle, all of which are used throughout the colleges.
