YuJa Panorama Digital Accessibility Platform
YuJa Panorama Digital Accessibility Platform has a long list of new features to help streamline accessibility across institutions. Some accessibility enhancements include:

- YuJa Panorama now has WCAG 2.1-aligned web page scanning and reporting for web pages and linked content. This domain-level website traversal scans the pages on your website, follows links, analyzes information and extracts relevant data to identify patterns and reveal accessibility issues.
- A new Website Accessibility report based on the Website Accessibility Widget provides a comprehensive summary of key accessibility modifications performed using the Accessibility Widget.
YuJa Enterprise Video Platform
A number of Enterprise Video Platform improvements were implemented. Highlights include:
- The YuJa Video Platform’s device panel now offers real-time device health status information, which provides statistical data that enables administrators to monitor status during heavy use periods.
- Users can now split and trim multi-stream videos in the Video Editor in a workflow that aligns with editing tools familiar to end users.
- Users in the Video Platform can publish playlists to their EnterpriseTube, CampusTube, and Course Channels with real-time updating.
YuJa Verity Test Proctoring Platform
Among the top updates to the YuJa Verity Test Proctoring Platform include the following:
- YuJa Verity now supports proctoring tests for students who are not enrolled in the learning management system for use in instances such as entrance exams and placement tests. Instructors can also create standalone proctored assessments that can be sent via email with a personalized password.
- Canvas New Quizzes users can now use the Verity Lockdown app to create the most reliable proctoring environment for online assessments.
- The Verity Browser Extension now supports an optional AI-enhanced facial recognition for ID verification, which enables instructors to incorporate authentication capabilities into any proctored assessment with Verity and ensure a match between the test taker and their uploaded ID.

The YuJa Engage Student Response System also saw a host of new and updated features, including:
- New question types have been added, including matching questions and word clouds, which add engagement and show answers in a visual display.
