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.
Hi all, we are seing as issue where if a student answers a questions within the quiz which has an acceptable alternative response, and the point is upgraded from 0/1 - 1/1 (and update is pressed with adjustment saved) When the student has a 2nd attempt the original 1st attempt incorrect answer which has been marked as…
I assigned the first draft of an assignment. Each student got rubric comments from me and from one peer. The Speed Grader view gives me a "Select Rubric" menu, allowing me to toggle between my comments and the peer comments. But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
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,…
