SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Georgia State University’s Center for Excellence in Teaching has selected YuJa Panorama Digital Accessibility Platform to help more efficiently generate alternative formats and remediate documents for students who need accessibility accommodations.
Institutional leaders were seeking an Accessibility Platform that could help identify and fix accessibility issues in the D2L Brightspace Learning Management System for students requesting accommodations. YuJa automatically generates accessible versions of documents and provides users with customized website accessibility options they can apply to any webpage.
The Platform also provides an accessibility gauge, highlights accessibility issues, and provides video guidance on how to fix inaccessible content. In addition, users can leverage YuJa Panorama’s Remediation Engines, which identify, prioritize, and automate the correction of inaccessible content in documents. A powerful math and science accessibility engine extracts and converts images, including those in scanned documents and those with handwritten or digital text.
“YuJa Panorama provides robust digital accessibility tools with innovative features that help ensure every student can access their courses and materials without barriers,” said Nathan Arora, Chief Business Officer at YuJa, Inc. “We’re excited for the Center for Excellence in Teaching to experience YuJa Panorama firsthand and to put it to work for students who need accommodations.”
