YuJa Panorama: Making Digital Course Content Accessible

November 6, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 11:30 am

Event Series (See All)

Convergys Learning Centre, Main Floor – BU Library

Do scanned PDFs or messy handouts make studying frustrating? Do you take in information more effectively by listening? Do you find dense readings overwhelming, making it easy to lose focus? Would reading a text in a different language help with understanding?

The YuJa Panorama digital accessibility platform provides students with access to Alternative Formats to meet their accessibility needs.

Alternative formats allow for the conversion of documents into a wide variety of accessible documents including:

  • source, PDF and text files
  • immersive reader for audio playback
  • gradient reader for visual word recognition when reading
  • ePub to download the document in eBook format
  • audio podcast for audio playback
  • Braille grade 2 format for downloading
  • OCR formats for images with text to be searched and read by screen readers
  • math formats to convert equations into LaTeX
  • language translation to over 100 languages

Let’s explore these together in this 30-minute session, facilitated by Student Accessibility Specialists.
