Hi All,
I am looking at a comparison of the two accessibility tools, Blackboard Ally and Yuja Panorama. Does anyone here have any information to share on these two products? Thanks in advance.
hello,
We are currently comparing them as well. We currently have Ally. It works pretty well. YuJa seems to have more options, deeper analytics and the company has done a lot of updating in the last six months. One feature they said they will be releasing soon is the ability to edit a pdf on the system, in browser, on the fly and replace that file on the system. They said sometime next year.
We are leaning heavier on switching.
Thanks! That's good to know. We ended up going with Ally and I think we have a 3-year contract.
We are currently with Ally and trying to decide whether to switch to Panorama. I have done fairly deep studies of both systems, but only can use Panorama in our test sandbox of one course. So it is hard to judge the institution level. I'm particularly concerned about the institutional reports. Ally gives us the ability to see what courses have the most scanned PDFs, which is a current area of our focus. It appears Panorama does not do this. The Ally reports seem to be much deeper, though organized in a clumsy way. It is frustrating that Ally does not allow you to filter out unused content which greatly weakens the data. It is not on their roadmap, but Panorama offers this function. Now that Panorama offers the ability to do some fixes on PDFs within the interface, that is a big plus. Would love to hear from colleges that have made the switch or otherwise using Panorama.
Following this topic with interest, would be very keen to hear from those that have used both systems and made the switch.
We have a teacher who is not receiving email messages in Canvas because she has not previously verified her email address in Ways to Contact. We have had her verify her email address several times, but no confirmations appear in her email, neither in her inbox, nor in her spam filter. We know that she has a working email,…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
I have a new React + Flask webapp. It has its own login for users to start using the app. I have added this as an external tool in Canvas. What I want initially is to see of canvas users can start using the webapp without having to login if they click on the external tool link in a canvas course. I have 2 methods…
