Instructional Material ADA Readiness

Following the recent announcement of Purdue’s selected digital accessibility remediation tool, YuJa Panorama, several workshops will be available for all instructors at all Purdue campuses starting May 26. This milestone marks an important step forward in supporting instructors as they work to ensure course materials meet evolving ADA digital accessibility requirements.

YuJa Panorama, integrated directly within Brightspace, is designed to help instructors identify and address accessibility issues in course content more efficiently, supporting the creation of accessible learning experiences for all students. 

To help get started, all instructors are invited to attend one of several upcoming workshops. These sessions offer a practical introduction to YuJa Panorama, demonstrate how to interpret accessibility reports within the tool, and highlight workflows and strategies for prioritizing and remediating your course content.
