Located in Carson City, Nevada, Western Nevada College (WNC) has deployed YuJa Panorama for Digital Accessibility, an ed-tech solution aimed at creating accessible course content for all learners. The institution serves more than 5,000 students each year within an 18,000-square-mile service area.

YuJa Panorama integrates directly with Canvas, the institution’s learning management system, to automatically improve accessibility using machine learning and artificial intelligence, and scans that check for common accessibility issues. In addition, YuJa Panorama enhances accessibility with auto-generation of a number of Accessible Alternatives of course material in the background — from HTML, to electronic Braille, EPUB, audio (speech-to-text), high contrast, tagged PDF files and more and provides a Visual Gauge for a quick check of accessibility. Detailed reports at a course and institution level help measure and track accessibility.
