Severe:<\/strong> 0% – 30% – These issues are the greatest risk to accessibility and require the most attention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\nInstructor Feedback: Accessibility Report<\/div>\nOnce your course scan is completed, YuJa Panorama can provide detailed feedback regarding the current issues that exist in your course (missing document tags, no alternate text, color contrast, etc.). Clicking the Accessibility Score<\/strong> button next to each file and\/or custom page in your course will open the Accessibility Formats Menu<\/strong>, where you can review the digital content\u2019s accessibility report, download alternative formats, and address any identified issues. YuJa Panorama will also give video tutorials and step-by-step instructions on what a particular issue means and how to fix the issue. In some cases, instructors will be able to make the changes directly within YuJa Panorama; for more severe issues, instructors you may be prompted to make the fixes externally.<\/p>\n
