Frequently Asked Questions about Yuja Panorama
Q: Faculty receives the major error message "This Youtube video is not publicly available and either the video is publicly available, and it's a glitch, or the video is private by design but available to anyone who has the link, ensuring that students in the class can access it.
A: This is a known issue that ATST and Yuja are working to resolve. Panorama should not flag an unlisted video. If, in the short-term, you want to resolve the error and ensure your accessibility score is accurate, you can use the video's regular link, not embed link. Example of using the regular instead of embed link to bypass the "Youtube video not publicly available" error message in Yuja Panorama. You can also use the View as Student button to ensure that students can, in fact, see it. Once you ensure that your students can see the video, please email atst@spcollege.edu to inform us of the issue and let your dean/program director know as well.
Q: How does YuJa Panorama work with Simple Syllabus?
A: Simple Syllabus is a third party integration, so it is not scanned by YuJa Panorama directly. However, it should be set as an accessible document via the Simple Syllabus platform. If you or your students notice any accessibility issues, please reach out to atst@spcollege.edu
Q: My publisher content is mostly accessible, but not 100%. Should I use YuJa Panorama to remediate?
A: Yuja Panorama does not propose fixes, remediate, or provide steps on how to remediate third party publisher content. TST and IDEAS will not move third party publisher content into our LMS to use Yuja to make it accessible to students. The publisher is responsible for providing accessible content.
Q: Why are all of my videos automatically flagged?
A: YuJa Panorama can't assess accessibility in videos, so initially, you need to go in and manually verify that the videos you're using are accessible. Videos need human-edited, accurate, timely captions. You can click Learn More, then Fix Error, and verify that you have set up captions inside your videos. Once you click "Fix Error" and verify, the YuJa error will be changed to fixed and will no longer impact your accessibility percentage.
Q: How does YuJa Panorama work with quizzes in Canvas?
A: Only the directions of New Quizzes are scanned by YuJa. We recommend the following when creating/revising quizzes:
- Use very descriptive ALT tags for pictures inside Quizzes
- Do not create handwritten content for quizzes
- If you need help making quizzes accessible from a design standpoint, reach out to the Office of Accessibility.
