Panorama

Panorama assists instructors in building a more inclusive learning environment, and improve the student experience by helping them take clear control of course content with usability, accessibility and quality in mind. Panorama provides instructors with detailed information about the accessibility of their course materials, and steps that can be taken to improve the accessibility of course content—including a remediation engine in Panorama that can fix many of the most common accessibility barriers in course files.

Panorama also provides students and instructors with alternative formats of their content (e.g. braille, tagged PDF, and enhanced vision). Creating accessible content provides for a more universal, equitable learning experience for all learners.

What will my students see?

Students cannot see the accessibility score for a resource in Canvas—they can only download an alternative format.

There are numerous options for users to download the available alternative formats of a file upload in a Canvas course. Please reference the following support document to view Panorama from a student’s perspective.
